1. a) Which project did you enjoy the most this semester? (1 mark) The project I enjoyed the most was either the Portfolio project, or the Ink board one (when we drew on the computer using a special board)
b) What two things did you like about it? (2 marks) For the Portfolio, It was fun taking different pictures with my two friends (because that's just fun to do) with also looking formal about it (like being on a job for photography) And I had fun doing the modeling when they were taking pictures of me, it was kinda fun doing poses for a picture. For the Ink Board one, I've always wanted to use one of those boards for drawing so I was like finally, I could draw on the computer, and I love to draw anyways so I'm drawing on the computer.
2. a) Which project did you struggle with the most? (1 mark) The project I has the most issues with was the stop motion video.
b) What two things were most difficult about it? (2 marks) The main issues i had with it was photo shopping the pole out of the scenes where there wasn't a pole in it, which caused me to be stressed out at times and worried about letting people down. Now the second difficult thing (which wasn't as bad but still annoying) was the characters were made out of clay and they did break sometimes before we shot, and the original wooden figure person was broken when I found it, which was a pain.
3. Name a skill you learned in media arts this semester and how you could use it in I can't really name one skill because I learnt a lot of skills that could be quite useful for later in life.
a) Next school year: (2 marks) I actually don't have any art classes next year but for English I could use the "Thinking Deeply" to help with some stuff in English. For some projects you have to say your P.O.V and continue on that.
b) A future career: (2 marks) If I stick with what i want to do later in life (which is on the field of Arts or Entertainment) I could use many things that I have learnt from this class. For Example, making posters for a company, taking pictures for a company.
4. Choose one project that you didn’t do too well on. Write three things you could do to improve it. (3 marks) I feel like I could've done better with the most recent project (video game one) by doing more work on the picture (taking the picture myself) and even more photo shop with it (or better). Putting more detail in the background of the story itself (i was a little vague with it.) last but not lease maybe a little touch up on the logo.
5. Write about your experience working in a group.
It was interesting working in a group because for the group i was in for any group project they're my friends so I know them and wouldn't be worried about being awkward with people I didn't know. Yes, it could get slightly annoying at times but we worked well with each other.

a) What role did you play? Were you a leader, listener, creative director, technical expert, props manager? Were you the one that was always present in class and doing work outside of class? Were you the one that had difficult contributing? Write at least three points about how you worked in your groups. If you did not work in a group, write about why you did not and three points about why you chose to work alone. (3 marks) The role I played was the listener, actress (the one mainly in front of the camera) and the leader? (I could be a tad of a rusher and slightly bossy if someone wasn't working or if someone was off track). I was the one who is always present in class (unless sick days or trips) and I did most of my work in the classroom itself (other then the Stop motion project) Some parts i did have issues contributing due to I didn't know how to work the program.
b) What was positive about the experience (group or alone)? (2 marks) The good things about working in a group is that if you didn't know how to do a certain thing too well someone else could help you or work on that certain area (Its the same thing the other way as well, if they didn't know how you could do it or help them) and it's nice working with the people you know.
c) What was negative about the experience (group or alone)? (2 marks) Sometimes when you're in a group things can get hard with decisions, if you don't agree you're either going to have to find a compromise or figure something out. (it's harder when you have a group with your friends) and if one of your group members isn't really focus its like "you gotta get to work," or "come on lets get working."
6. Reflect on your time management in this course. Time management was pretty good, it could've been better at times but still pretty good.
a) If you had to give yourself a mark out of "10", what would that mark be, if 10/10 was using each minute of each class to the fullest and not wasting time? (2 marks) I would give myself a 7/10. I was normally on task but I would goof off at times. I didn't know how to work with one program (had troubles with it) so i would ask my partners to mainly work the one program. But over-all I seemed to be good with the work and I have a pretty good mark.
b) What strategies will you employ in the future to maximize your efficiency in getting assignments completed on time? (3 marks) If you're having trouble maybe ask how to do it or use it correctly, Try to focus more and not talk to your friends and possibly listen to music it helps with working at times.
