This week was an easier week. We finished up our videos over the first few days, then proceeded to watch them over the next days. Honestly, I was expecting this week to be almost a break week. Watching a bunch of videos didn't seem like it would be that engaging or informative. I was proven wrong though, as I feel like a learned quite a bit from them. The first thing that I noticed was that my video wasn’t as bad as what I thought it was. After seeing movies and YouTube videos made by professionals, my video didn’t seem to be worth acknowledging. Watching everyone else’s videos helped me feel better about my work though, as no one else could compare to the skill of those who make videos for a living. Not only did it make me feel better about my video making skills though, but it helped me feel better about my work in the class in general. I often feel like my work has a lot of holes in it, and I don’t always get the best grade on my work. Sometimes it makes me feel like I shouldn’t even bother with the AP test because I can’t even do well without the pressure. Advice like this can help, but sometimes you need something beyond yourself. Watching the movies helped me to remember that everyone else is in the same position I’m in, so I felt more confident in my work. I also realized something about writing while watching the videos. I noticed that some of the videos had some really strong subjects to talk about, and other videos did a really good job of presenting what they had to say. It made me stop and think about this in all of the writing that we do. If we can take these two ideas and accomplish both, I feel like something really good will come out of it. We need that strong central idea to talk about. It’s the reason to write the piece, and the piece will fail without a good reason. It also needs to be presented in a way that captures its significance. The idea is worthless if no one can understand it. Both of these parts are equally important, and should be considered when writing.
