Evaluation

Overall, this unit was a fun and interesting unit that kept me going. Through this unit I got the experience of filming an entrance video and what to say. I got to learn about myself as well; I got to see what different jobs that fits me the best. There were several results such as a shampooer, veterinarian, and patisserie and so on...

In my opinion I think for me this unit was a success because I had all the things I needed in order to make an entrance video and I had completed it. Although there were some troubles on the way I had overcome them and finished my task.

Investigation:
I had to write about the things I liked and the things I enjoyed. After investigating and writing about me, I had to go online to the specific site and look at the different jobs that were suitable and had to choose a job. I ended up choosing what I wanted from the beginning. I chose my career job as becoming a veterinarian. After choosing my career job I had to do more research on that specific job. I looked up which schools provided a veterinary education and chose a university. I also looked up the incomes and how much I would get paid. Through investigation I got to learn more about what it becomes to be a veterinarian and what I have to do. It was a good experience for me. If I was to improve my criterion A. I would have done more research on more schools and how much their tuition. If I had done more specific research I would have gotten more information and would have added it on the video.

Design:
For design we had to explain why we chose the job we chose and background information on it. I said I chose becoming a veterinarian because I wanted to cure sick animals and help them. I personally love all animals but I do favour some more than others but every time I heard about animal cruelty I wanted to make a change. It might not be that when I grow up I would be a veterinarian but it’s definitely on my list of choices. Suggestions for this step would be that if I had described more in detail why and how I wanted to become a veterinarian it might have bumped my grade to a higher mark.

Create:
The create part was the most tiring process. The part when I wrote the speech was fun because I got to write down what I had learned but when it came to the part of making the video, it was tiring. I had filmed it more than 5-6 times. I first filmed it at home but it didn’t end up being so good so I filmed it at school and then I filmed it more at home. I wanted to complete the video within one full video but it was hard. My words weren’t clear enough or I wasn’t loud enough. This was a tough job and since I was doing it all alone it made it harder. The speech and what I was going to say didn’t matter because I had already gathered all the information but when it came to filming it, although I was alone I got nervous and started to babble. If I were to fix it or improve it I would have memorized my speech and would have said it slowly. Also I would have asked someone to help me at home. At school Aiste had helped me film it.

The product is fairly good because I spent my time on it. I had worked with Movie Maker and studied the different effects. Although I had used it before I had forgot but after this project it refreshed my mind. I’m not sure if my video was persuasive enough or not but I did have all the information that was needed. I had the mentioned the requirements, skills and interests, training and experiences. I had all the information the video asked for. Aiste had seen my outline of the video since she helped me film it. She said that I needed to look more into the camera rather then the paper. She said that I had all the necessary information and that it was good. Although there were still some parts to fix, so after listening to her advice I went home and did and tried as she suggested.
I think throughout the year, this was the most fun unit. It had given me the chance to learn more about myself and research on what I wanted to become. Who knows this might even help me in the future of becoming a veterinarian.
