S5 Reflection

I am actually very pleased with how my S5 video came out. It took me two days to do mainly because I had switched last minute what I wanted my video to end up looking like. Originally, I had planned to make my video kind of like me teaching people and my roommate recording me in a classroom, but it was a lot more complicated than I wanted it to be so I resorted to just make it a vlogging style type of video. At first, I was a little embarrassed and nervous to be speaking in front of my webcam and being weird because I never pictured myself being those types of people to vlog I guess, but I ended up really enjoying the process! While watching a playback of my final video I realized that I left out a few things that I planned to say in my outline. Maybe that was due to me focusing more on the visual aspects of my video than content, and I find thats a very important thing to include in my video especially to find a balance. I also feel like after taking the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and using media as an option for my speech that I have improved in my public speaking and if I had the chance to, I would do this method again.

What I liked about choosing to do an S5 instead of an S4 was taking the chance to do something that is not normally done in a classroom setting because when doing presentations students think of just standing in front of a classroom and talking at their peers. I also like that with videos you can get creative and artistic with it and add effects. I would encourage many other people to try this method out too!
