THE LAST BLOG POST OF THE SEMESTER AKA Peer Review for Sarah Moskowitz

In this blog post I will be peer editing a final draft for a student that is not in my section! I am very excited to do this blog post because after this I am done!!!!!!!!!!! So lets get to it

Audience Question:
How did you practice your editorial skills this week in peer review?

• I practiced my editorial skills by reading Sarah's final draft and commenting on the genre conventions that her SCE fulfilled.

Author Response:

• Sarah did a really great job of staying formal while talking about herself. A SCE is often quite formal by nature and Sarah did a great job or respecting that while still fulfilling what was needed form a content standpoint. I commented mainly on the Genre conventions of a SCE because I have completed that genre and have looked at many examples throughout the year. I think I helped Sarah in confirming that she should feel confident in what she created, her essay is strong, well written, and  meets all of the conventions of an essay.

Editorial Report Numba Two

In this blog post I will be providing comparisons between my raw content and my final project. My raw content is in written, script form and my final project is a video essay.

Audience Questions:
How did the content change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the content is being communicated more effectively in the re-edited version?

• The content changed a lot. When I was making the script I thought that I would be able to read the script as I was filming but I was very wrong and so the video itself sounds almost nothing like the script I had initially intended on reading.

How did the form change (even slightly - details matter!) when you re-edited it? Why do you think the form is presenting the content more effectively in the re-edited version?

• Written to recorded. The written was just the basis for the final project. So the form is very VERY different here.

Open Post to Peer Reviewers

In this blog post I will be providing a link to my final project as well as talking about what I'd like commentary and help on before turning this bad boy in a few hours!

My Video Essay Can be found Here

Audience Question:
What are you anticipating the post-production process to be like, based on what you accomplished during the production phase?

• Well there is no post production this time around, this is it! I am so very excited to be done and so ready to finish all of my other finals and just go home!

Author Response:

• So for my final project I chose to do a video essay and I have definitely hit my fair share of cruveballs. I have had trouble with editing it, figuring out how to film, not stuttering and repeating myself. All kinds of issues but I, ultimately, feel fairly confident in that it's done and it seems like a very laid back video essay to peers. 
• I'd love specific feedback on what I could do to improve the genre conventions.

Peer Review for Emily Bond

In this post I will be providing a link to the peer review I did for Miss Emily, a student in my section. I chose to review Emily's work because we are both creating video essays in these last 2 weeks and we have both made the decision to film in the coming week so we will both definitely be busy. I resonate with her process and that is why I chose to review her work

Audience Question:
How did you practice your editorial skills this week in peer review?

• I practiced my peer review skills by giving Emily a little bit of advice on how to make her introduction more appealing to listeners/viewers. I really think that The video essay is a fun genre and there is a lot you can do with it if you please and so the intro should be fun! Especially because this is the last project - let loose!

Author Response:

• I reviewed Emily's blog post to peer reviewers, her content adaption (Production Report). Emily chose to show her raw content in the form of a script that she will read for her video essay. I think I helped Emily by providing her with ideas on how she could improve her introduction. I told her that she should definitely use her name and really introduce herself as well as the project as the project is about her. I told her that she should tell a personal story or give some kind of insight into her life since the viewer will be learning about her as the video essay goes on. I am doing the same general thing as Emily so my advice comes from personal experience and from the d2l genre examples where the host introduces themselves.
