Content Change 
        I don't think there was any content change. I added my last name. Probably phrased it all better.

Form Change
         Well it changed from script into video, so that's a pretty major change there. It's presenting the form more correctly because its a video essay, so it would make sense that it would be in a video now.

Selection from Rough Cut

Hi everyone, well it’s me, Alexis, I’m coming to you today to talk about everything that’s happened this semester in a moment of self reflection upon my different writing experiences in this English course. To start off with I’d like to say that this has been the most effort I’ve had to put in to an English class probably in years, it was a ton of work. The major points of reflection in this work include my new skill of time management, how working in different genres before all this was helpful, and how working with others throughout the course was a big deal.

 Intro

Editorial Report 15B


Content Change 
          There are changes in some of the words. I cut out some of the stuff, or it might've been moved to other sections of the video

Form Change
         Well it changed from script into video, so that's a pretty major change there. It's presenting the form more correctly because its a video essay, so it would make sense that it would be in a video now. It also is a bit more seamless video instead of rough an unedited. Added in example of ant observation so others could feel my pain

Selection from Rough Cut

I came into this class like, alright I got this it's just English. And I promptly missed the first deadline. It flew by me and I practically hadn’t even noticed it until the next day and half of those awful long blog posts weren’t even close to being done. I think this course has been primarily a learning experience in time management, because balancing about 20 blog posts throughout the first couple of projects was not something I had prepared for , especially when I then added 10 hours of ant observation every week to the pile, the time within which I could do the necessary work for this class was shortened even more. I gave myself the weekend always, but with the 20+ blog posts it was still majorly rough. Real time management didn’t come to me until after the first project was done and most of the second project was done as well. By then post size had been halved so it was easier.

Open Post to Peer Reviewers

         Whoo heres the video essay now

Key Info
        When this says rough copy it's not playing around. This is just straight video of me, without any editing so some of it may be me making weird faces or awkwardly quiet because of people. I plan on adding transitions and a lot of other things to give it more character. There will be background music and the like. Just not yet. And the ants at the beginning of the video- whoops. That's footage for a different point.

Major Weaknesses
          I think a big part of the weakness so far is that it is so rough cut. And that its just me right now. I only hope it saves properly and gets uploaded properly. So it may be even rougher than expected

Major Strengths
          I'm real casual and honest about all of this this time around. Made it real simply and plain because I think that's what best fits the tone of the piece since its a personal reflection.

Peer Review for Time WIls

Who: Tim Wils

What: Final Production Report 2

Activity: I think I made a content suggestion, or at least hinted that the phrasing could be confusing towards the purpose of the singular paragraph that was presented.

Helped: Hopefully I helped

Incorporated: Clarity

Admired: He was quite honest on what sorts of feelings he had had during the process and that honestly really gives him a sense of credibility in the writing and the experience overall.
