Skills Commentary
POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
During this project problem solving was a major necessity. With our team down a member and having to rush production on some of the final days due to us having no actors. The ability to adapt to our issues and problem solve on the fly was unmeasurable.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
During the project communication skills was of upmost importance, making sure everyone knew their role in the production was needed for success, although this was not accomplished to what I would have wanted. I do applaud my team for being able to, although not greatly adapt on the fly, we did get our final product out.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
Production was heavily involved with using technology and electronic communication, either between learning new software for editing and communicating via text and using WeVideo.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Skills that were more “refined” as to say for me was most notably communication. Many nights were spent in electronic communication to solve problems and adapt around time crunches.
Reactions to the Final Version
Although rushed and not what we wanted, reactions to our film were very positive! Josie commented and commended us about our ability to problem solve and adapt on the fly to issues and outcomes, although not as effective as it could have been it did work in the end.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
During this project I learned that more direct problem solving although highly effective in a high intensity situation. In a school situation it is not as effective, a more set in place list and moving slow with solving problems is better. Especially with less focused and productive students. Having my team use the second type of working would have been more effective.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
Major issues were scheduling and dealing with absences in our cast and production team. Having to adapt on the fly to problems that surfaced was very important especially with an easily distractible team. Looking back I have learned now that it is better to survey the team I am working with and better approximate the best working and problem solving styles to use with them.
