Peer Review for Mike Duffek

This final peer review was satisfying to complete but also made me make sure I had all of my bases covered on my own project as well.

• The name of the title and author for the project you reviewed.

I reviewed Mike Duffek’s video essay for project 4.

• A working hyperlink to the project you reviewed.

Mike's project can be found here.

• An explanation of the peer review activity you selected for the project you reviewed.

The peer review activity that I selected was the content suggestion activity. It helped give feedback to Mike if he was effective in what he put into his project and if he needed to add anything.

• An explanation of how you think you helped the author with your feedback (in other words, how did you help them make their work better?)

I think giving Mike positive feedback helped him be confident in what he produced but also had him make sure he did everything up to the standard he was trying to reach for.

• An explanation of how you incorporated something from the suggested Student’s Guide readings (or any other course materials, if you’d prefer) into your feedback.

I incorporated the part from the Student’s Guide that gives feedback based on the evidence provided. He did well in this part by talking about his life experiences that gave him credibility for this project.

·        One thing about their work that you admired or think you could learn from.

I can learn from Mike’s casualness in this project. It comes off as authentic and real which is one of the things he mentions as being important in this class as well. 

Editorial Report 2 for Project 4

I apologize if it is difficult to view the re-edited selection, you should be able to download it.

Selection from ‘Rough Cut’

The rough draft of the first body section of my project can be found here.

Re-edited Selection

The final draft of the first body section of my project can be found here.

1. How did the content change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the content is being communicated more effectively in the re-edited version?

I added video to this part which gives the body more of an entertainment factor.

1. How did the form change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the form is presenting the content more effectively in the re-edited version?

I made the video stabilized compared to what it was before in order to reduce the shaking of the camera during the video.

Editorial Report 1 for Project 4

This has been a long process but I have finally finished the final project, this is the introduction of project 4.

Selection from ‘Rough Cut'
The rough draft of my intro can be found here.

Re-edited Selection
The final draft of my intro can be found here.

1. How did the content change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the content is being communicated more effectively in the re-edited version?

I added a title page and also added music to the beginning as well.

2. How did the form change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the form is presenting the content more effectively in the re-edited version?

I added a transition in between the title page and the speaking during the intro.

Open Post to Peer Reviewers

I cannot believe we are on our final deadline, but here it is. My rough draft for project 4 can be found here.

• Key information about your particular project that you would like anyone who peer reviews your draft to know.

If the slight change in my shirt part way through is too noticeable or draws attention away from my opinions, let me know.

• Major issues or weaknesses in the “Rough Cut” that you’re already aware of (as well as anything you’d like to know from your editors about those weaknesses).

I have not added any music, credits, or transitions to my project yet.

• Major virtues or strengths in the “Rough Cut” that you’re already aware of (as well as anything you’d like to know from your editors about those strengths)

I think that I make very good points about my development over the semester and I think I do a good job at how I articulate these points as well.

Peer Review for Emily Bond

This peer review made me look back at my production schedule and make sure that I had everything in order. Emily did a great job setting herself up for success.

• The name of the title and author for the project you reviewed.

I reviewed Emily Bond’s Production Schedule.

• A working hyperlink to the project you reviewed.

Emily's production schedule can be found here.

• An explanation of the peer review activity you selected for the project you reviewed.

The peer review activity that I performed was the resource recommendation activity. I made a recommendation on software that Emily could use that was simple to understand for those that have not made many video essays.

• An explanation of how you think you helped the author with your feedback (in other words, how did you help them make their work better?)

I think I helped Emily because making a video essay can be hard especially if you have not worked in the genre before. Simple software can be all the difference to success or stress.

• An explanation of how you incorporated something from the suggested Student’s Guide readings (or any other course materials, if you’d prefer) into your feedback.

I added advice from the resource section of the Student’s Guide. I made recommendations on how to produce her video essay and why this will help here produce.

·        One thing about their work that you admired or think you could learn from.

One thing that I admire from Emily is her diligence in her production schedule. It is very specific what she needs to do, how she needs to do it, and when. It makes room for little error and this is very important. 

Production Post 2

The rough draft that I attached is only the narration. On my rough draft, I have video of the campus that this narrates over. Also, you will need to dowload the file if you want to view it, but it is a small file. 

Outline Item

• At least 3 main body sections

1.     I want to talk about how my initial stages in my writing process has changed.

Adaption of Outline Item

I believe that I started my reflection off well with this introduction and can develop my body sections from it.

Outline Item

• An opening section

In this section I want to reflect on how there has been a lot that has happened in my work process this semester. I want to broadly talk about how I think I have changed.
