Week 8

Hello everyone! This week, I continue working on my final product, an informational YouTube video. After receiving feedback on my script and outline from my faculty advisor, Mr. Wekilsky, I began editing my video’s outline and script. I also had to read through my course texts again to find specific quotes that would be helpful in my video’s script and in my final presentation. This was a little tedious, since a lot of my course texts are fairly long, but nonetheless, I went through them all. Skimming through my course texts again was also helpful because I plan on giving general summaries about what each text was about in my final presentation as well, so in a way, I killed two birds with one stone!

In addition to editing my script and outline, I also continued to edit my video clips. This task proved to be more difficult than I originally thought. Since I tend to talk a lot during interviews, we usually steer away from the interview outline/ general set of questions, causing longer interviews. After this week, I just have two more interviews to edit down.

At my on-site placement, Small Brooklyn Psychology, I continued to have meetings with the staff and work on the communications and social skills journal. I am interested in seeing the final product of this journal, since it is supposed to be like a regular psychology manual.

Going back to my surveys and senior project, I was able to get the remaining post-race surveys from the track athletes. This means that I am now able to have fully completed data! In addition to gaining complete data, I also finished my updated senior project abstract.

Next week, I am hoping to record myself talking for my video, finish editing my video clips, and finish my script.
