Self Evaluation

Ollie here :D

I just realised that i havn't done this yet and so i think i'll be doing this at regular intervals of perhaps once a week from now on so that i can see how im progressing, or rather how i think i'm progressing. I will be assessing myself on five main criteria: Camera skills, Editing, Group work, motivation to blog (MTB), Quality of posts.
I think i'll rank them out of ten as it is a bit less ambiguous than 5 but will not be as unmanagable as something like 100.

Camera Skills: 4/10 - I think this has to be a low rating because the experience i have had so far has been positive and i felt like i knew what i was doing, however my experience is limited and i was only performing small tasks with it and so i think a four reflects my ability to use a camera effectively

Editing: 2/10 - I think that i really need to sit down with the group and we need to work out how to use final cut express. I know how to use windows movie maker and so im hoping some experience with that will assist my learning of final cut however in comparison Movie maker is trivial next to Final cut and i don't know any advanced techniques. So this rating has to be lower.

Group work: 6/10 - I think I can work well in a group and i really like how we bounce ideas off of each other. I think that when i work with either Chris or Nikki i can stay on task well however i do sometimes get destracted and so this is maybe something to focus on but ultimately i feel that i am doing well in this aspect.

MTB: 8/10 - I feel that i can post effectively and frequently most days without even needing to persuade myself or peel myself away from Facebook so i think this deserves a positive mark at this time, however i expect this to fluctuate as i continue to update my self assessment. This is because i will be rating based on my weeks performance on this criteria as it is hard to generalise.

Quality of Posts: 6/10 - After talking to miss mapp i have realised that i need to include much more external links in my posts in order to attain top-band marks for my posting. other than that though i feel that my posts contain good content and show variation. the use of more links would show my understanding to the technological aspect of the course which is a criteria the examiners are looking for.

that is all.
