More work, more stress

Driscoll's Model of Reflection

What's been happening?

This past week I have been working on the development of my projects. I have been uploading to my social media and I have done my first practice run on my sister Stephanie at home. The aim was to practice interviewing someone and get comfortable in front of the camera. I have also started the Female Boss program this week which was fantastic. I have written a whole reflection piece on it on the Female Boss page.

What have I been learning?

Video editing is not for the faint of heart. it is really difficult to do. Well, that has been my experience. I found myself getting frustrated with the fact that I was so limited in my skills, I underestimated how difficult it would be to cut clips, add effects, and add music and sounds. It was a whole new learning curve. I had expected that I would need to learn something, just not as much as I had initially planned. another thing is when I make a video just by myself I am fine talking to the camera, but as soon as someone else is there watching me, I begin to stutter and I get nervous. All of a sudden, there was all this pressure and I was freezing and finding it difficult to find the words to say.

What's next?

I am hoping with more practice I will lose my nervousness when speaking in front of others. I am going to be looking at different interview styles and identifying which one would be best for me to use when filming my prototype. I am also going to be looking at workshops and videos on editing so that I can improve my knowledge and understanding of what to do when it comes to editing my social media content. I am planning to stay consistent with posting on my social media and hopefully grow my following and interact with more brands. I have my second working shop this week with the Female Boss program and will update the page with a reflection of everything that we have been doing.
