So which one did I pick?
I have decided to do this project as my Quick Reference Guide. I've chosen to use this format for a few reasons. First of which, I am very invested in the topic emotionally, and in order to seem less biased I have to use a writing format. If I were to do a video or a podcast, the audience would be able to judge by my voice or my face how I feel about the subject. (I'm a good actress, but I'm not that good.) I also decided not to go with the essay because I feel like the many facts involved with presenting this project could easily be laid out in the format of a Quick Reference Guide.
Which conventions are going to be worked on?
Well, since a QRG involves a written set of facts with subheadings, descriptions, and visuals, I will work this week on assembling my information into a cohesive document. It has to flow, quite possibly using questions in between sections, and I need to work on blending all my information into one piece. I'm hoping by using this outline and making sure I sound professional, I will be able to avoid any type of bias leaking out. I just need to be more organized than I naturally am.
How am I Feeling About it?
Honestly? I'm scared out of my freaking mind. I am interested in the topic, but I still feel like I have so much information and verification to find. Which shouldn't be the case at this point. This class is kicking my butt, and I need to be better at being on top of things. On one hand, I am glad I chose to do the QRG for this project because it's the first one and I want to get the hang of things before I attempt anything huge like the movie or the podcast. I would rather have my feet under me. I just hope I can make sure I get all the information into my project without including any of my personal feelings. Objectivity is the goal..
