I have decided to structure my video in the following way:

20 seconds – Introduction

10 seconds – Thoughts about ENGL 1102

38 seconds – Talking about challenge

17 seconds – Talking about overcoming challenge – plan

5 seconds – Conclusion

I want to present the video as a news channel/ weather report, with the challenge being a forecast. I hope to bring out my preference to use formal and non-fictional writing through this video and also want to showcase a bit of creativity.

I do believe my editing skills are very limited and therefore would like to state that should I be unable to satisfactorily follow this format, I will do a simpler video with title slides (Introduction, Challenges, Resolution, Conclusion) and pictures describing me.

I really liked the introduction to primary sources.

I think defining the aforementioned using common examples was helpful.

The distinction between humanities’ and sciences’ resources was also intriguing.

The mention of government records, etc. as sources was helpful but I would have liked a contextual and example-oriented slightly more.

Recap

Modes: Linguistic, Oral, Visual, Aural, Gestural, Spatial.

Group Activity (Discussing Plan)

Giving background (15-20s), introduction: Idea (10-15s): Identifying Challenges (2-3 with remedial measures) (55 s): Conclusion (10-20s). Using examples, images, effects.

I liked examples given by Dr. A about being creative and thought about trying out a news channel format for my video.

Research

The discussion on scope and narrowing down topics was very nice.

For the initial video, I was planning to do a Q and A type recording with Questions appearing in one frame and the answers being stated by me. I will start with a brief introduction of myself and go on to identifying my topic (could be related to rectifying antennae and the scope of wireless power transfer) and the mode (Written/ electronic) I will be working with. I will allocate a majority of my time explaining a challenge related to the aforementioned mode. As instructed, I will try to incorporate personal experience in all my work. I am still deciding the concluding question and wil decide one such that all questions follow a logical sequence.
