For this Peer Review, I will be reviewing the content of Eyal Ron's video essay.
I really enjoyed his Video Essay. He completed a thorough analysis of not only the class, but also how he felt going through each aspect of the class including the Major Projects as well as the small blog posts. I think I helped him by suggesting that he add how he felt about writing before this class, and how it changed that. I admired how he talked about his own struggles with organizing time, and how he wrapped up the video by talking about the future.

Editorial Report 15b
For this editorial report, I edited my third body paragraph about self-care and what I've learned.
Selection from Rough Cut:
In terms of taking care of myself, I learned some interesting things. For example, if I get less than 5 hours of sleep, I will be cranky and I will need a nap at some point. And while making memories by talking to your friends at 3 am might sound like a good idea at the time, sometimes sleep should be a higher priority. This semester has been a process of learning how much my brain can handle when it comes to amount of hours typing out blog posts, or studying for chemistry, or researching a bio presentation. In addition, living on campus means that my food options are a little limited. Most of it consisted of eating out every day with things that weren't the best for my health. But hey if its cheap, within walking distance, and fills up my stomach it will do. My lack of a consistent sleeping schedule, healthy food, and procrastination has stressed me out quite a bit this year, and is something that I legitimately need to work on before it affects my grades or my health.
The content changed a little bit but not too much. I changed things a little bit when I recorded it but for the most part I wanted it to sound like the way I wrote it.
The form changed because I actually recorded it. This was kind of difficult for me only because I am super uncomfortable and awkward on camera, but oh well. I did it!

Editorial Report 15a
For this editorial report, I will be revising my second body paragraph about new experiences through 109H.
Selection from Rough Cut:
Throughout this semester, this course has pushed me into new experiences. Now I don't do too well with new experiences; they tend to give me anxiety if I don't know what exactly is going to happen. However, this class forced me to go outside my comfort zone. For the second project, I learned how to set up and conduct interviews. I learned the type of language to use in contacting professionals (and remembering that they are still people and I shouldn't be so intimidated). In addition, I learned how to dress and carry myself professionally when interviewing someone. These are all useful skills to have in the future, no matter how much anxiety I had when acquiring them. In addition, this class required me to teach myself how to use new technology. We needed to learn how to use editing software for both audio and video. This was extremely difficult for me, but hey now I know. Overall, these projects and genres forced me outside of my comfort zone into new experiences and gaining useful skills.

The content changed a little bit but not too much. I liked the way I had written about my experiences with technology and people. I added in a little bit more to show how I handled these challenges, but the rest of the content was the same.

Open Post to Peer Reviewers
All done! Finally posting my last project. What a feeling.
Here is the link to my Course Final, a video essay of my reflection on this class.
Information for audience to know: This is my first time ever making a video and I was super nervous about it. I am already an awkward person so putting a camera on me just makes it worse. But I did my best, and hopefully it works,
Weaknesses: I think the video quality is struggling mostly because I recorded this on my laptop and edited it with an app I found. Also, I think that I am used to watching vloggers on YouTube that post videos that are amazing, but they are also literally professionals in their field. I have to remind myself that it isn't expected of me to be great or perfect at this, but here it is anyway.
Strengths: I think that I completed the assignment fairly well. Honestly, I could've been more awkward on camera so there's that. I like how I organized my content, and how I touched on the class itself, but also my experiences as a whole this semester.

Peer Review 14
I peer reviewed Sienna's Content Outline. This gives an overview of the project and how it will be organized.
I think I helped her include specific evidence when she reflects on the semester. She did a really good job of reflecting upon her own writing process and the kinds of things she went through when starting a new project. Explaining it through an example would make it easier for the audience to understand. I admired how she had a theme to her project. She designed it so her video went on a journey. She was very creative and I think this will make it stand out against others.

Production Report 14b
For this production report, I will be writing out my script for my video essay for the third body paragraph about personal care
Rough cut:

In terms of form, I want the audio of my video essay to be professional and well put together, and I think this is the first step to doing that. If I write out exactly what I want to say and how I want to say it, I think the production of the video aspect of it will go a lot easier.
The production of this raw material went a little easier than I expected. I was worried about how I wanted to reflect on everything I did this semester for this class, but it came more easily than I expected. The main challenge was communicating exactly what I wanted to say to my audience.
