For today I have made my third video tutorial, as well as write a plan of tasks I will need to complete by the end of today, including planning my next video tutorial, which will be about UV Mapping (so quite boring, really), and planning for my birthday in the Easter Holidays.
For planning my birthday I wanted to talk to Lynda to see what her thoughts were about things I could do to celebrate my birthday with some of my friends, both in and out of college. She gave me some really good ideas to consider, such as bowling and having lunch in town. For my college friends, so right now I am considering the Foundation Degree Photography students and Ananda, and also some of my friends from the BTEC course, I want to do something fairly local, because I am aware that some of them live outside of Stafford, so something in town would be ideal.
Back to coursework, I feel I am making great progress with these video tutorials, and feel like I am very well on track with it all. Before recording my tutorials, I do what I want to show in my tutorial first, so I'm not making it as I go along, and will make things easier to explain, similar to the Art Attack videos I viewed during my research. After that, I always write a rough script of things I need to cover in each video tutorial. So far this has worked very well for me, but I don't always follow the script, as I like my tutorials to feel like I am speaking more naturally, even if I am hesitant at times with my speaking in the tutorials after watching them back.
Neil has been very supportive with this project and seems genuinely interested and impressed by my work, which I do feel grateful for, and it makes coming to college much easier, and feels a lot more welcoming. He does mention that in my previous tutorials I do tend to go through the tasks in my tutorials a bit too quickly, which I think I can learn from. I do feel, however, especially with my last tutorial that I had a lot to show and to talk through, and even though I don't want to make my tutorials too long, I do feel that they are a lot longer than I expected them to be.
