This week, I focused on tweaking my paper. I wrote my introduction and conclusions, and my final part left to complete is my abstract. I did quite a bit of citing work as well, but I know I am going to have to go back over many of my references. I was unsure of how to deal with several of them.
Working on my paper and video has been hard this week since my computer came under attack by several viruses. After several minutes of freaking out, I realized how much I love my jump drive. Luckily, (after six hours of starring at my computer screen and a 50-dollar purchase for new virus software), my computer is back o track without any work lost. Thank goodness.
Because I wasted so much time yesterday (which I planned on being a time to get a lot of work done), I spent much of today shooting some more video. I felt very silly, sitting in my kitchen discussing Twitter with myself on camera. But I think this is the best way to do my video project, through a few interviews and talking about it on camera. Data and stats would be really boring for my topic, and it would not really work very well because the numbers that go along with Twitter’s stats seem to change so much. In my paper, I did not talk about numbers too much either because of this.
I am finding it hard to know what to say in my video presentation because there is so much content in my paper. I feel like I am speaking too generally at some points, but going too in depth seems like a bad idea as well.
Tomorrow, I plan on spending a good amount of the morning trying to edit. I read several tutorials online about how to use imovie, so I am hoping it goes somewhat smoothly. Nothing can compare to the computer problems that I already experienced this week.
How is everyone else’s project coming along?
