Week 13 / Additional posts

Before the start of this module (semester), I had tried numerous ways to be exempted from this module. I initially thought that I had nothing more to learn in terms of communication because I have been communicating for my life. While some conversation might not have gone the way I wanted, for the most part, the other party generally gets the idea I am trying to get across. However, after 13 weeks of lessons, my perception on communication have changed and I am now convinced that there are a lot more I must learn to become a better communicator and more importantly the reasons to become a better communicator. 

 

While this trimester has been packed with a lot of projects, it has given me the opportunity to apply what was taught. For instant, by being more aware of my listening styles and the other kinds, it has allowed me to understand how to work more efficiently and effectively with others. Knowing different leadership styles has also made me more aware of others working style and work with it. 

 

As for this project, the most challenging part will have to be the coming up with the video. The storyboard has been very challenging but worth it. I initially thought that it would have been easier if we had just film what we had in mind and then draw the storyboard just to accomplish the criteria. However, I was glad that we attempted to come up with the storyboard before filming. The story board gave us a clear direction of what need to be captured and hence, we had spent very less time on improvising and using "extra" time we had to improve on the shots we had initially planned.
