Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
Although this project did use informational and self-directional skills, for me it mostly addressed my interpersonal skills. This is because we had to work together to coordinate times and place that we could work on the project and shoot the video, and because we had to deal with a group member constantly trying to flake and not work with us.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I’m most proud of my editing of this video, specifically the transitions. I planned out the order and locations of the shots and then tried to think of creative and interesting ways to tie them together.
How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skills with this assignment?
I developed my interpersonal skills greatly by being able to see when a group member didn’t want to do a project and instead tried to get the rest of the group to do it for him. I also had to use my thinking and problem solving skills to figure out how to get the project done and have a good final product while the one person that we needed to film wasn’t working with us.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
The most difficult part of completing this task was Andrei. We planned out the scenes and wrote most of the lyrics so we just needed him do the rap and film then film. However, on the first day we had planned he wasn’t ready to record the rap and second time, almost a week later, he would do a serious recording and we never even got a chance to film the footage. On the last we had to do it he also didn’t show up so Michael and I had to do the entire video by ourselves in less than a full day.
How could you improve this work?
This video would have been better if Andrei actually did his parts on the days we planned so that Michael and I would have had enough time better edit the video and rap.
If you could start over, what would you do different?
If I could start over would have worked with someone else on this project because Andrei overall made our project significantly worse than if he’d not been in our group.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply the lessons I’ve learned from doing this project to hopefully being able to choose better partners in the future or knowing when it would be better to cut them out
