Process write up- Uncomfortable

Yet again, I was stumped when it came to coming up with ideas for the videos. I just eventually decided to sit in front of the camera and not look at it, like avoiding eye contact with someone. Somehow, Jake and Rachel ended up being in it. With him randomly dancing, and her just being a straight up creeper.

Process write up- Monologue

So, I wasn't really a hundred percent sure what I was going to do for my monologue. At first I started just trying to ramble on about nothing, and that just didn't go well. I learned that I can act like the biggest idiot in the world, but as soon as you put me on the other side of the camera I'm just kinda like "umm... I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing here..." But, when it came down to actually coming up with something for my project, Paige suggested that I sit there and count as fast as I can in 60 seconds. Which turned out to be successful.

Messy Notes. :/

Progress on the Beast

I still feel the need to stab myself.

Final Four Dots

For the critique of my circles, my group said things like I had wide variety in the placement of my circles, and that I had a good variation in size. But I did have an average of mostly big dots, and had a lot of one certain size, which was a Gatorade top. I didn’t have any really small dots though. I think the smallest size that I had was the top of a hand sanitizer keychain I have. The majority of all my circles went in some general direction, also. On the page of circles that is on the bottom right, my proximity one, my group suggested that I move the five bottom dots a little bit further away from the larger one on the top, to kind of spread it out a little bit more. I think that the pages of dots that my group picked were some of my strongest ones, so I really didn’t feel the need to choose any other ones. Sorry that this isn’t exactly long enough, but I’m not quite sure what else to write.

Sorry it's out of order.
