As you probably could guess from the title of this Blog Post, I finished my Capstone completely, slides and recording both done, but what I haven’t done is tell you about what happened to create my Capstone presentation and the recording session. Obviously, I had to make the script, which I disliked doing because I knew that I wasn’t even going to use it, so it was basically restraining how I practiced even though it probably wasn’t going to help me, or at least that’s what I thought but it helped a lot actually, the script was hard for me because, as I mentioned before I do not like restraining my speaking to the words I put into my script, even though I obviously wrote it because I had to.
Imagine I finished my script because this is me creating my Slides, my slides were much easier than my script because I had a lot of creative freedom at my hands, and as long as I make the picture or words match what I say, which was really easy because there are about thousands of pictures about anime on the internet, and it would obviously be very easy to find the correct pictures, right? NOPE, I was completely incorrect because I have to find pictures of good size, not blurry, and it had to be within the Creative Commons License, that was fun, I was not confident about me finding the pictures, and so much that I felt like I should just not use pictures and just use words only, I found the pictures.
Wow, I think I’m done with my presenta- NO now practice about six hundred thousand times then you’ll be done, is what my brain told me, surprisingly practicing was easy because all I had to do was say the things on my script, while changing slides, “See the script was helpful”, said the smart side of my brain to the lazy side of my brain, I finished practicing on the same day as the recording.
Finally, I started the recording, I was nervous as a normal person should be and started to regret saying “Anime” as my Capstone topic instead of something that was scientific, like maybe human behavior. I started recording and messed up on the second slide, then we recorded again and I messed up again, then we recorded again and I messed up again, then we recorded again and I actually didn’t fail this time. I was later informed that because it was mask break and we had mask break basically outside of the recording area, my class was watching me record.
Great Job! You really took me behind the scenes of what happened like you said that your script was kind of restraining you. And you also told us how you messed up on the recording and you also told us how difficult finding pictures were. And also you made me laugh when you said “Wow, I think I’m done with my presenta- NO now practice about six hundred thousand times then you’ll be done”.
I like how you said what you had thought would happen, like when you said that you thought finding pictures was going to be easy, when really it wasn’t! I also like your blog post because you explained why you thought that the script was unhelpful.
This is a very interesting post. I like how you said that the slides were easier to make then your script. Great work!
Great job! I really liked that you explained what was easier for you. It was also very detailed and intersting. Good job!
Awesome, William! The comedy in your post made it stand out!
Great job William! I really like how you described why you disliked things and why you liked things! Great job!
Great job! I really liked how you talked about your experience doing your capstone project!
Good job. I like how you talked about how finding pictures was hard for you and about how you had to rerecord a couple of times. It was also funny. Really good job.
I like how you said you regretted saying anime and maybe should’ve done something else.
