Strengths and Weaknesses in My Blog

This is a table which pretty much summarises how I feel about our blog so far as well as the individual posts that I have created over the past few months. As you can see, I have carefully thought about the strengths and weaknesses, as well as things that might be holding me back which I need to work on. I have also begun to talk about the different skills I have learnt throughout my time blogging.

Strengths I always take extra care with being as detailed as I can in my posts. There is a lot of evidence of research into pre-existing products such as looking at title sequences of some of my favourite films. This show that I have been able to draw inspiration from successful title sequence which are relevant to the genre of ours. I don’t have many posts where there is just blocks of texts and no visual examples, this makes the posts more interactive and appealing.

Weaknesses I tend to binge post when it comes to catching up with work. I try to avoid this by changing the time schedule on my posts, however that doesn’t excuse the fact that I am slow when it comes to get posts done. There isn’t much evidence into planning our locations, props and costume or any evidence of casting. In addition, I am still not using a sufficient amount of alternate technologies in order to make the blog look less dull and demonstrate my ICT skills. The branding of the blog is still not where I think it should be as it doesn’t fully express the chosen genre of our title sequence.

Threats I am slow when it comes to getting posts done and so I tend to fall behind a lot. I am a perfectionist and so if I feel that I won’t be able to get a blog post done to my best standard, I will leave it for another time. This has caused my number of post to be significantly lower than other group members. I am also guilty of procrastination.

Opportunities I feel that I have learnt a lot of new ICT skills whilst blogging over these past few months. I have had the chance to start using more alternate ICT applications to present my work in interesting and visually creative ways.
