Content Online

Here is an idea of how I am going to dish out the last serving known as my final project for this course.

Introduction

Attention Grabber: I'm an 80's wrestler when it comes to writing. I got only one good gimmick and it's managed to keep my tush afloat academic wise in every course that has required writing of sorts throughout my academic career. Like many 80's wrestlers though, I've had to adapt myself to a new era. The era known as college. *Gulps*


Section 1: Me as the Reader and Writer

Initially in my writing stages I tried to be the standard writer so to speak. I'd try to play it by the book, didn't really input my voice into what I'd turn in to my professors in elementary or early middle school. By I'd say halfway through middle school I began to realize through stuff I'd read like comic books and some online articles that "Hey, I find this stuff cool. It doesn't sound robotic, sounds natural". So ever since then I have always attempted to put my stamp on everything that I write, even if it is something academic which typically sucks the personality out of the content.



section 2: Planning and serving others
I usually begin any writing process by figuring out what is the purpose of what I'm going to write about. Usually on an essay or anything text based I start outlining a few things here and there and then I begin to compile a bunch of sources and/or ideas together and proceed to take a huge ton of time figuring out how to piece everything into a story.

Usually on text based stuff there aren't 2 drafts there is just one that is constantly evolving. That's the way I see it.



section 3: Genre & Time Management
I realized my time management sucked. I went through hell trying to finish so many assignments.
There would be countless sleepless nights, staying out on the street all the time not coming back until 3 am. It all was so surreal and just to work on English assignments. I never thought that'd be me. Or maybe I did since I am in college so.

Conclusion:

Overall, I hope to keep progressing in the world as a writer and manage my time better. Also, I hope to help those of my peers better.

Editorial Report A.2

The following is an edited out cut of my introduction.


Post Title: Editorial Report

Audience Questions
  1. 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?

    I included some more information on the subject matter at hand.


  2. 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?


I included more music to the introduction than before.

Editorial Report B.2

The following is a report on the conclusion of my video.

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?

I added narration to the conclusion so that the audience could connect with the author's point.


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?


I added a faster editing which would help the audience feel more engaged into the matter.

Revised Post to Peer Reviewers

The following is some insight into my fine cut of Project 3.

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

I anticipate it to be tough work as always but I am prepared for it.


Author Response
Explain, with some specificity, your thoughts and feelings about the following:
  • This draft is still somewhat rough.
  • The video is poorly paced and a bit out of tune.
  • The fine cut at least has an outline of sorts going for itself.

Peer Review for Bianca Aguilar


The following is a short and sweet review for Bianca Aguilar.



Perform the activity and then write a concise but detailed blog post that includes:
  • Bianca Aguilar, Editorial Report 13b.
  • I made certain recommendations about form to Bianca.
  • I think I helped her establish how well she can use transitions from images to images.
  • I used examples of good form from the Student Guide's Readings.
  • I learned about how smooth her background music blends with her video and is not distracting.

Peer Review for Jason Boley

The following is a review on the work of my dear peer Jason Boley who is always there to help those in need!

Perform the activity and then write a concise but detailed blog post that includes:
  • Jason Boley , "Content Outline".
  • I think I assisted Jason in just adding a tad bit more to his already perfect outline by giving him a suggestion on where his outline could extend from.
  • I used some information on contextualizing information from the Student’s Guide readings to help Jason with his outline.
  • I really admired Jason's craftsmanship with the manner in which he adds details to every single manner of his outline.
