10A: Dorm Life Video Reflection

I know I made the right choice coming to Southern. The environment here is so welcoming and there are many resources to help you become successful now and in the future for your career. Not only that, but I’ve always wanted to have the experience of moving out of my house and living on a campus, and SCSU offers great facilities to feel right at home. So, when making my Southern Spirit video for my INQ class, I chose something that I enjoy while being here; dorming/living on campus.

                Looking back at the video, I fulfilled the time requirement (6 minutes), I have a solid introduction stating my name, class and the topic I would be covering, and I addressed many solid points of my reasons for living on campus with supporting evidence. I posted a working link on my blog before the due date and my video was technologically appealing (graphically and musically.) But I feel there was one part I lacked in; interviewing. Though I did interview two people, I feel as if I could have gone more in depth with my interviews. I could possibly include a video instead of just quotes. And if I didn’t want to put a video in, I could have elaborated more on my quotes.

                Something that caught my interest and I feel, kept people interested, was the music. Though it doesn’t have to do with the topic of dorming, it was upbeat and catchy and paying attention to the video, rather than a silent film, losing the audience.

                If I were to grade myself, I would probably give myself a B. Though I addressed many topics, I could have elaborated in curtain areas, like the interviews as I’ve stated above. In general, I feel as though I could have personally took more time with the project and elaborated in multiple areas, such as the different things to do on campus, or even, what the dorm rooms included.
