Media 6 – Week 3

TV: A REMOTE JOURNEY

Week three was my first week of classes after a long and unprecedented illness. I met with my group members for the first time and in the weeks I had missed, I had caught up and got myself up to speed using the resources available to me on Blackboard, and with the notes my classmates were kind enough to pass to me.

In this week, tasks were delegated and I accepted the task to contribute to producing the promo/intro video for our seminar, as well as helping create the poster. Additionally I put my hand up to create the seminar run sheet and format and on the day of the seminar, I will be one of two photographers. As I had taken up 3 roles for preparation but none of the day, I decided to take up a fourth task on the day to share the workload on the day and to pitch in where I can. This task also allows me to contribute through a crew role but  also help with set up and pack up.

While I feel like I may have taken on a few too many tasks to handle in addition to my other subjects, the tasks I have nominated myself for are tasks that I care about and am passionate about. This is a challenge I have set myself in order to push myself to my full potential in my final semester of Media Comms but at the same time, a challenge which is achievable.

My approach will be to prioritise my work in terms of chronological due date as well as the amount of work needed to be put into each tasks and plan out my weeks before they begin. By being extremely organised and communicating well with my group members I am confident I will be able to stay on top of my tasks and achieve a good result. I will take it upon myself to keep to schedule and direct my own learning, seeking resources myself to improve my skills before seeking help from my fellow group members.
