Personal Development Point Goals #12

Thursday | December 10, 2015

This week I have set a goal to start and finish another piece of artwork over the course of the two weeks I am going to be off for Christmas. My teacher has recommended that I move on to mechanical drawings. Because of this I had the idea to merge vintage cars and blueprints. This links in with what I have been working on and what I have been recommended to start on. I have chosen a blueprint which also involves a lot of detail and shading. this makes it acceptable to draw and use in my project. Because of the amount of detail, it will take me a long time to fill everything in.

The second goal that I have set myself for the week is to carry on working on my Media Studies coursework. I have been behind on this due to the amount of other work that I have been set. This shows that I need to work on my organisational skills more when considering the amount of work I have been set and when it needs to be handed in. However, I have made all of my work to the highest standard possible which means that it takes longer for me to complete individual tasks. For example, I have made multiple videos for the course which are very time consuming. This is because the filming of the videos usually takes over an hour, maybe two. During the build up to the video filming and edit I am constantly looking on music sharing websites for a suitable song for the video. I have to do this to ensure that none of the music is copyrighted. After I have found the correct song I can start the edit. The amount of time I spend on this varies due to the style of the video and the length. However, because of the style I edit in to try and make the content as interesting as possible it normally takes about an hour to edit two minutes of finished video.

The last goal I am setting myself is to keep updating these ICT blog posts over my break. This is very important as I can easily forget to keep things updated as it is not the largest priority I have with my work. If I do not remember to update this blog over my break I can easily forget what goals I have set for those two weeks.
