Core Competencies

I had decided to use the core competency critical thinking, I chose this because it was used heavily to create a good video. A big part of using this competency was figuring out how I feel about my story, and the way it begins and ends. Before beginning I brainstormed, this gave me the ability to work faster and with more thought out ideas. I also made sure that all parts of the story made sense and worked well with the story. I could have chosen easy and useless text, but I decided to work through it and come up with better ideas. This gave me the ability to have a detailed and interesting story. I also tried to use different ways to come up with ideas, such as, asking others, creating a web. While writing I didn’t stick with just one idea, I quickly made changes to give me variety.

For me I made sure that I looked at all the different directions I could have taken with my writing. I gave myself a goal, to make a creative but fun story, with all the correct criteria. This gave me the ability to keep on task and have an efficient work time. I finished the video on time, and I made sure it met all the goals and criteria I had set for myself. After I had finished the video, I looked back at it and gave myself pointers on what to do better next time. This gave me time to reflect and improve. I asked others to review and edit my story as well. This gave me a different point of view and helped me improve. From this I have learned that there are always different ways to look at something, to make it better.

For my video, I took my time. This gave it a very good story, with tons of detail and an enhanced character development. I created criteria for myself and had met every single one. But I was new to the app and hadn’t fully discovered all its tools and tricks. In the future I will look more into the app and try and find ways to make it nicer aesthetically. I hope to be able to make it nicer to look at, which gives the story an easier viewing experience. I also want to find a good way to brainstorm, without taking too long. I hope that I find a faster and more efficient way to come up with ideas and a more creative way of putting it on to the screen. I would also like to make it a little longer next time, so my characters can fully develop.
