The student created a video as a minor project using iMovie. They found that creating a storyboard was the most useful planning tool as it provided a clear structure for the video. Technically, the student learned how to use iMovie to edit video clips, add text, transitions, and music, as well as how to export, upload to YouTube, and add annotations. Survey Monkey provided effective communication and feedback from audiences. The student's testing through Survey Monkey identified clear areas for improvement. The student learned they often base creative decisions on others' feedback and responses to increase confidence in creating a useful product.
2. Research and Planning:
Research and Planning: How well did you research the
project? Which bits of research were most useful? What strategies
did or didn't provide useful information? Why?
I think that storyboard was defiantly the most useful planning tool as
it gave me a clear outline of how to structure the video. It gave me
a methodical and easy way to create the video, effectively giving me
a checklist to work through to ensure everything was included in my
video.
3. Technical Skills:
Technical Skills: What new skills do you think you
have developed through this project? What have
you learned about the software you have been
using and what might be next for you here?
I learnt many new technical skills whilst making my
video; I learnt how to create a movie on iMovie
using video clips, how to add text, transitions and
music, how to export the video file, how to create a
Youtube channel and upload the video, and then
finally how to add annotations to the uploaded
video as well as stabilize the video clips.
4. Communication:
Communication: Did you communicate effectively
with the client/your group/your audiences? What
tools or strategies were most useful and why?
I think the most effective tool to communicate with
my audience was through Survey Monkey, as it
gave me clear feedback on my project
5. Testing:
Testing: Did your testing result in useful
information about your product or
not? Why? What questions in surveys etc. gave
you the best feedback from the client/audience?
I think the best form of feedback was the Survey
Monkey I sent. I allowed me to clearly test my
video and give me clear areas of improvement
6. Originality and Creativity
Originality and Creativity: What did you learn
about the way you make creative decisions or can
develop your creative capacity using technology?
I learnt that I base a lot of my creative decisions
are based a lot on other peoples decisions
I feel as though I wont make a decision unless I
have got response on my ideas, or my decision is
based upon the response that I get from people
For my IE Award, all my decisions were based
upon the feedback from the students, as it
increased my confidence that I was creating a
useful product
