Personal Performance

To evaluate myself on the performance I gave throughout the project, I have no problem in saying that without the effort and contributions I made to the package, we would not have ended up with such an original piece. On the flip side of the coin, I have no doubt that without all 3 other members of my team, we would not have had the same result.

All my fellow project workers put in equal efforts throughout, and the combinations of skills we possessed  meant that we could individually excel at the areas that others were lacking in, meaning that we had all aspects of production could be covered by one or more members of the team. I found that one of the areas I was able to greatly contribute to was positive attitude and direction. I feel that encouraging your peers is always crucial in a team activity, and work is no different.

A constant positive attitude and willing to succeed will boost the confidence of your group and others around you. In reference to direction, I felt I was always encouraging the other members of my group to go to the next level with their idea. If one of them came up with an idea, I would either try and directly build upon it, or ask them related questions to see if I could help find deeper meaning to the idea at hand. This sort of exercise helps to greatly develop ideas as well as getting the group all on the same page. I believe this to be a key skill, and one of the reasons I would grade myself highly on the content, styles and techniques of the package. To evaluate my progress, I learnt to take initial ideas to the next stage of the process, where I was able to develop potential stories and “run with them” as I believe a good story sells itself, so finding a good story is crucial to the success of your broadcast.

 There were a few moments in the project, mainly towards the later stages, in which I noticed that everyone was starting to have the same visions and discussions on content and style would become more intense as we were all able to visualise each other’s ideas.
