Busy week Reflection

It was a pretty busy week for me on-and-off GP class. The main thing we focused on this week is planning for our video. This includes the information needed to support our argument, our video script/plan and video footages we want to record. Our focus on our video is centred on political, social and economical; we think it's suitable to integrate them together because they are related one way or another. At first, we decided to produce a documentary- literally, a long documentary- with lots of facts and figures, but after much deliberation that might not be interesting and viable. So, we came up with the idea of a mockumentary, inspired by Nigahiga, which is more appealing to our audience, which consists of school students.

As usual, we allocate roles to group members to work more efficiently. Our brainstorming session for ideas are very successful because each of us gave creative ideas on how to make our video more engaging- and funny! After all, nobody wants to watch a dull and boring 15-minute video with a solemn pace and tone. Communication skills were vital in this process as it determines whether we are brave in conveying our ideas or not- in our case, we did not shy away from giving ideas so as a whole, we were good contributors.

This video planning process really stimulated creative thinking. It really tested our multimedia skills and imagination. From a contentious and rather solemn subject, we manage to transform it into something more approachable, understandable, fun and appealing.
