video essay troubles...

so the assignment given for this assignment blog was the video essay project and we had about 2 weeks to complete the whole thing. this assignment was mainly a redo of our leadership application, and I can say that it was way better the second time around. there were about 4 slides then an essay that was actually a video. the first slide was was our name picture and a background that relates to our Interests and the background had to be consistant throughout  the whole PowerPoint. the second slide was, our "personal information"; we had to write our email addresses, home address, ect. the third slide was "what we have to offer" and we had to explain what characteristics would help the leadership program . the fourth slide was our new idea for a program, we had to make our own idea for what we thought would be a good program, and I chose a debate team. I felt so special because I didn't get any help finding that idea, it was accomplishing. the last slide was our video essay, we had to talk about ourself and we HAD to have background music with the video essay in order for it to be correct. you wouldn't believe how excited I was when I finally finished my essay.. 


the highlight of this assignment was definatly writing about the program I would like to create. I thought of "a debate team" the more I thought about it, the more excited I became about it. it was really fun, and got me excited for the program if it were to become an actual program. but a lowlight might have been editing the video essay, I noticed that my music was too low and it wasn't as interesting as I hoped, but I'm glad I finished with all of the needed requirements. 



an important lesson I learned from this assignment was to stay focused and don't put off your responsibilities until that last minute. I had to record my video essay really late at night and I really wish I had done it earlier so that I would have time to work on it more and perfect it as much as I could, obviously I didn't do that because it wasn't perfected. hahaha.


if I could have done something differently to my assignment I would have had to have been my video essay, I know I could've done better in more ways than one. I could've fixed the music and had a more exciting attitude during the essay. maybe even fixed my hair more, haha not really but I know I could have better in my video essay esclecialy in ways to make it more interesting. I felt like it was really boring and could've been more interesting. maybe if I didn't do it really late at night I wouldn't look so tired.. well I'm pretty proud of my assignment and I'm confident of my work that I've done.
