That February Feeling

Experience 

I am currently in my development stage of my project. I have booked a location and still need to decide on a model. I have also been working on the skills and knowledge that I will need in order to do the project. I have been experimenting with different styles of videos and looking at various trends. I have been posting regularly on my social media pages and I have made sure to include all of this in my development. I have been adding to my initial research and adding apon it. 

Reflection 

Though I have been learning a lot about video editing, sound editing, and marketing I have been feeling sort of stuck in a rut with this project currently. I am just feeling really overwhelmed with everything at the moment. Trying to find the time to add everything to my website and then actually do the physical things. I think am feeling this way, as I give myself big tasks and too many to do, all at the same time. I am struggling to find the balance with everything, especially with all the deadlines coming up. In terms of everything else, I have been learning a lot through the #FemaleBoss program, this past week we looked at Idea Generation and development. I loved the class; we learned about the SCAMPER model that is used to create and develop creative ideas. I find that I have a lot of these ideas myself, but I never knew that there were models we could use to help creative entrepreneurs develop their ideas into businesses. I always leave the workshops feeling inspired. I have also been networking with the others who are in the program and who all come from various backgrounds. So, I have been working on my communication and networking skills by doing so.  

Action  

For next week I will focus on just getting a bunch of smaller tasks done so I'm not feeling as overwhelmed with everything. So just updating my blog, and my timesheet, and doing some development. I am also going to be filming practices over the next couple of weeks to help develop my interview skills.
