This week was the final week of the trimester, keeping in mind that we will be off schedule next week due to Eid break. Our aim this week was to get us prepared for the upcoming trimesters, whereby Andy took the opportunity to provide us with some feedback and an estimate of what the expected trimester grades are. We also had the opportunity to reflect on what went well and what could be done better for the next upcoming trimester.
My role was to have a clear understanding of where my grades currently sit and to evaluate my overall holistic grade I am looking to be receiving in by the end of this trimester. In order to create a successful reflective plan, I will look to create a short action plan that consists of the postives of this term and what could be actioned further. This will provide me an opportunity not only to reflect on what has been done but also understand the best strategic way to approach the upcoming trimester.
During this session, we were also provided with the opportunity to undertake a trimester 5 practice project to enable us to understand what we are expected to do during the next up and coming xtrimesters. Having the prior skills of TV and film adverts, it was quite simple to understand the task of which we were required to complete and the way in which we were meant to alline audio with a filmed TV commercial video. Within this task, I also had the opportunity to further develop my skills in compression side chaining and understand the way its done on logic Pro X. The side compression fature of logic pro enables engineers to duck in and out different frequicies of cerain instruments at different section of a track, project or recording.
In terms of this week’s transferable skills, I personally thought they were a representation of creativity and reflective skills. The reason for this was the elements and key features that I learnt within this lesson with regards to the new software skill of side-channing channels and also how to preflectly alline TV video commercials with audio. In addition, the way in which reflective practice skills can be reflected upon within this week’s learning was during the improvement feedback session carried out with Andy to understand what went well, but at the same time, what can be improved. This reflective set of skills is something that I can use in future units but also in the real world when looking to improve or reflect on a completed or ongoing business project. Overall, this whole unit and trimester was a great experience and learning opportunity which I can now apply to future units.
