After watching the dry-dry-run video, I noted that there are definitely some things that need to be changed and worked on. I spent a lot of time staring at my computer screen while presenting to the groups. I could also tell that it was obvious that I was unclear about what I was going to say because there were a lot of choppy transitions and phrases. Something I also noticed was that I think my group and I were heading in the wrong direction, instead of being really focused on the major itself. We were talking about aspects that are related to our major like types of toothpaste and floss. These are definitely the things we are rethinking and trying to move around with so that we can take these ideas but work it with general questions about UNE’s dental hygiene program. I think what is working after watching the video was that we are all really into the project and bring great energy. We have no problem incorporating our ideas. Seeing the video I could highlight the ideas that I mentioned, and what Norah mentioned as well. Overall though, I think now after revising some things after watching the video we are in a better spot than last week and hopefully the dry-run is better than our dry-dry-run.
After watching my dry-dry-run video, I noticed a mix of strengths and areas that need adjustment before recording the next version. One thing that worked well was the overall structure; we introduced our topic clearly, moved through each segment in a logical order, and ended with a focused conclusion. Our tone felt natural, and we maintained a steady pace that kept the content understandable.
However, I also realized that several parts need tweaking so our speech fits more smoothly within the time limit. Some sections were simply too long, and we found ourselves using extra words or repeating ideas without meaning to. Because of this, a few segments felt rushed while others dragged. As a class, we also talked about the importance of trimming our words, and I definitely see how that applies to my speech. To improve, we plan to shorten our explanations, cut out filler phrases, and tighten the transitions between ideas. This will help the pacing feel more balanced and keep each segment within its intended length.
Overall, watching the video helped me clearly see what needs sharpening. With these adjustments, hopefully our next recording will be more concise, organized, and effective.
After watching my dry-run video I would say I need to improve on the reason I want to be a dental hygienist. I want to make sure my statement is strong and understandable to the audience. When it came down to it in the dry-run, I mostly talked about my prior experience rather than what actually motivated me to go through that career. Theres a lot of students going through very similar experiences when it comes to picking dental hygiene as a major. I want to make sure my speech doesn’t sound too repetitive to my other classmates. Going through the dry-run, I didn’t realize that this video may have to be cut shorter. When looking at this project from the start, I thought we would be under the time limit. We planned on having an interview and even in the dry run we didn’t include the details, and the video was still long. When it comes down to the video, we will definitely need to work on adding and subtracting clips to meet the time requirements. We also need to work on characters and how to portray them since we are only a group of two. Although figuring out some of this out will be somewhat of a challenge, I do think we are in a good position with our project.
After watching my dry run, I realized there were several areas I could improve on before completing the next one. One thing that went really well was the timing, we stayed right within the required time frame, which was encouraging and showed that the outline we prepared was solid and well-structured. However while reviewing the video I noticed a few habits that I want to correct moving forward. I saw that I was talking too quickly which made some parts harder to follow and probably made me sound a bit nervous. Slowing down will help my delivery feel more confident and controlled. I also noticed that I stumbled over certain words and got stuck on some pronunciation. This made me lose my flow briefly, and it reminded me that practicing specific phrases ahead of time can make a big difference. For the next dry run I went back through my outline carefully and revised portions that felt awkward or unclear. I read my transitions out loud to make sure everything sounded smooth and natural. By improving my wording and practicing more carefully I feel more prepared and confident about improving my pacing, clarity, and overall delivery in the next run.
Based on my dry-dry run, I think I need to work on strengthening the bones of the outline so that we have something solid to work on next week during the dry run. I need to work on confidence but since I was alone I think I did well enough conveying what the dry run might look like. I got good feedback and was able to put that into answering my questions more thoughtfully. I definitely need to reword how I answer some of the questions, and will probably skip some of the questions altogether for the sake of time and clarity. I stuttered a lot because I was talking too fast, so for the dry run I need to watch my pacing in order to avoid confusion. I definitely need to work on how we will ask questions/moderate the panel discussion in the video, but otherwise I think the outline and the questions mostly hit all the bases and answer the important parts of the project. With all the questions, I think we will be able to accurately explain how we think we fit in our major.
As my partner and I went through to watch our video we made in class, there were many parts that stood out to me that we had to work on. I knew from the start it wasn’t going to be our best work, because we definitely weren’t as prepared as we should have been. We didn’t have our script thought out and we didn’t have the timing we needed or even close to it. For the future my partner and I plan to have our script done or a sketch of it and to make our speech longer than it was. I’m hoping for our next class we are able to fix the places that need work and grow from our mistakes. Other than that I thought that we had good ideas and I could see a strong ending. There just has to be a little more effort coming in from the both of us. Overall I’m very excited to see where we end up and see the places we grow.
After watching the dry dry run that we performed in class last week I had some takeaways. One thing is for me personally as a host I should be more welcoming and give more of a calm presences that leads the conversation more. Another thing that we could work on as a whole group is being able to talk more fluently and knowing how we want our answers. This is because right now it just seems very performative and reading off a script more then an actual conversation. I think to make our project better as well we can talk about others topics possibly, since right now it seems to be mainly just about our selves and not getting into the majors as deeply and what they are so asking more questions about beyond school could help. I think we have a good base to start with that is able to be built off of and continue to grow.
After watching the video back, I realized I needed to be more engaging with the audience. I need to look up more when I am talking. I need to practice not reading straight off my paper and memorizing what I am supposed to say. I think that when we film our actual speech video, I will have memorized everything by that point.
I think the overall structure of our speech is very good, and I think we did good at hitting all of the points we needed to hit.
Our speech fit well within the time limit and was a perfect length. We hit all of our points without going over the limit, but also keeping it long enough.
I hope that when we present our speech, it will be engaging and that people will want to listen to what our programs entail.
I think once we actually start filming the video, it will go well. I believe in class today, we are going to plan where we are filming and how we are going to film it. I hope our dry run in class goes well today, and I think it will because we are prepared.
After watching my Dry-Dry run back there are a few things that can be improved. First it was a little bit too long, at the 12-minute mark we need to figure out how to get time down, I think brevity will be important and going into less detail will be important, while still maintaining adequate information. I also don’t think it’s engaging at time, I think a way we can improve this is just to practice. I think we also need to be confident in what we are saying, again, this will just come with more practice. Other than that, it’s coming together well and will be interesting with three different majors.
My groups dry -dry run overall was solid. We hit all our important topics and tried our best to give thorough answers for each question without taking too long. We did go over the 7 minute mark which we all agreed we could try and shorten are answers will still keeping the quality of our answer the same. We had some confusion sometimes about order we answer the questions in too, which will get better with more repetition and practice together as a whole. We all have different majors which is nice so there’s a tone of variety in each of our answers so the audience shouldn’t be too bored or unfocused. Overall we’re in a good spot to produce a good dry run today, and a good final video too.
After viewing my groups dry dry run, I noticed many things that could use improvement. Given as there were only 2/3 of us, that makes it a little harder to be at our full potential, but having Madison say Kathleens lines was our improvisation. In the video, right off the bat I saw that we had to reference our lines the whole time, no memorization. We also noticed that we could reword and reorganize certain parts, which we definitely did, and mentally noted to change. This was helpful in our creative process because we had to actually rehearse outloud in front of others for the first time, which made us really think about our wording and structure. I noticed that I was not professional in my rehearsal, and could have been less fidgety, and more engaged with my crowd. Overall I feel as though this made me realize I had lots to improve on and work to get myself into better shape for our video end product.
