Supervisor's Advice

Upon meeting again, my supervisor raised some concern in regards to my audio situation - which I haven't commented on much. In response to this I explained that I wished to hold some auditions, which my following post should be about. These auditions will be in order to determine who narrates my final video as I don't believe my own voice to sound very appealing or clear - I believe someone else may fair better in this field. I would still be writing the script though, in order to ensure the information and focus within the video coincides with my project's aim. I also clarified that I would be recording on my iPhone and that I would scout for areas to record audio (one potential location being my closet).

Additionally, my supervisor mentioned the teaching guides again. I'm currently reading through these guides but they don't appear useful as they mainly offer guidance in regards to conventional teaching; I have yet to finish looking through the guides but again intend on creating a future post around this exact area.

Lastly, we seemed to agree that using my video with a test audience would help to evaluate how effective it has been. The issue with this will be managing a time and place to showcase the video and how I will go about receiving feedback; I believe it would make sense to simply have people state if they found it useful or not and depending on the amount I can quantify that number and make a pie-chart or table to show the percentage that thought it good or bad. Again, this does come down to a timing issue as it might be difficult to set aside 15 minutes of lesson time in History to organise a test group, however actually getting volunteers to commit to a screening time would also be a hassle as many people would likely not turn up. One solution to this might be catching people when they are free and showing my video then, keeping a tally of those who believe it was successful and those who thought it wasn't.
