Welcome

Thank you for taking the time out of your life to check out my Genius Hour Blog.

My big goal for this project is to write a script. Not an entire feature film script, but a short 10-minute film script. I worked in the film/advertising industry for three years, and one of my biggest weaknesses was scriptwriting. Editing a commercial or filming came naturally to me, but scriptwriting never did, and I never found the time to work and hone that craft. 




I always have struggled with following through with my projects, which this Genius Hour project will help motivate me through that process. Scriptwriting is tricky to track, as you either complete it or don't, and there is no in-between. However, I will make written notes towards my classwork and stress feelings while working on my scriptwriting. This week, my stress levels are through the roof, and I look forward to having a creative output for my mind.

The question I am asking myself for this Genius Hour is, "By having a creative output will it increase my abilities as an educator? This will be tested by writing scripts during my Genius Hour."

    STAR: I loved your use of creative titles. I found them snappy as they accentuated a strong storyline to your project

    STAR 2: Your use of personalization. With this in mind, I was able to hear your thoughts as you progressed, especially with your blog posts

    WISH: For next time, maybe use a more clear font that will help the viewer read your content a little better.

Week 4 - Ain't Nothin' Gonna Break My Stride

      Every week of school so far has followed a theme in my head. It's always been something I do where I do some self-reflection before the week to see where I am and how I feel about the coming week and the one which just passed. This week was tough on certain levels so it is going to take a little extra this week for me to get going and the momentum rolling to keep on top of my school work.      My one key takeaway from this week, my perfectionist nature is both a benefit and a hindrance. I have my script "done", which is such a subjective term. The script itself is almost done, and I feel confident in the ability to hand it on time, however, I keep going back and editing it, working on the small little details that feel so minuscule in the grand scheme of things. It gets to a point that feels very frustrating, as I don't feel that I will ever be 100% content with the final result I produce and submit. That being said though, there are positives to find...

Week #6

What you learned about yourself is such a loaded question, as I discovered more of what frustrates me than positives. I found I needed music in the background to work, one time, I forgot my headphones at home and attempted to work on the project in a Starbucks, and I could not dial myself in enough to work. Also, I learned that I enjoy having a creative output, no matter what it may be. I took this Genius Hour concept and applied it to more of my life in ensuring I do not forget my own personal fun times and not just being dedicated to school and work. The challenges I faced the most were ensuring I was doing the projects on time and hitting every detail needed during the badges while completing my hour time. I found it easy to put off the project as, at times, it felt like fun versus an actual school project, so I was able to push it off in my mind and forget about it to an extent, then coming back to it with a sense of urgency.  If I could change one thing about this entire proje...
