The grade is blown but here it is anyway...
Just introducing the process and phase I took an entire chapter, so I was very interested to see how the other four phases were going to covered together in one. Well, they were covered…simply.
It was a practical, no nonsense way to cover a lot of information and considerations without getting too in-depth on any one aspect.
While some of the topics mentioned such as performance based green screen storytelling had me thinking “Yeah, right. Like I’ll EVER be into that level of this stuff.” As got to the part about final assessment and reflection I found I was thinking more like a student than a teacher. “What’s the story of making your story?” (Ohler, 2008. pg. 157). I find I am continually reassessing what I’ve learned and keep adjusting fine. So why not think ahead?
That brought me back to the beginning of the chapter where Ohler discusses the preproduction phase and the importance of not rushing it. “Don’t be surprised when children don’t want to spend a lot of time with this step…the reality is that creating the list will save them a good deal of time while helping them develop good planning habits.” (Ohler, 2008. pg. 150). I think a good deal of my struggles may be that I try and skip over a lot of ‘preproduction’ when learning new technology.
