I
think my biggest failure in this semester was the micro project 2, a map of my
journey to the classroom. I feel that I could have done it in a more creative
way. I was trying to show two different routes I walk to the classroom. One was
when I wake up at 8am, and the other one was when I wake at 9am. I think this
was a great idea, but I failed to show how different they are. They look very
similar if you don’t look them in details. I think the viewers did understand
what I was trying to show on this project, so I would say I did not have enough
skills in Photoshop at that time. What I learned from this failure was I should
take more time to know about more Photoshop skills.
I
think my biggest success in this semester was the micro project 4, a sound clip
of a place I often go. I shot the video in the laundry in my apartment, and
remix the sound of the video. I learned to be creative in my work in this
project.
If
I could redo one project, I would choose the second project. I would show more
differences in the two routes. I would put more photos of the things I pass by
in the “8am” one, because if I wake up at 8am, I would have chances to see more
things on my way to school. On the other hand, I would choose another tool to
blur the map of the “9am” one to show that I did not notice what happen around
me, because I walk too fast.
