REFLECTION
During this semester we’ve all focused on different elements of
online video and sketching. We started our first assignment by
focusing on a case study and then spent the remainder of our
assignments expanding from that focal point. For my assignment I
chose to study the websites “The Katering Show”, which is about
two sassy, Melburnian comedian’s that attempt to follow and
deconstruct different food trends. In this essay, I will attempt to
reflect on the many ideas and issue’s I have encountered
throughout this semester through each project I have completed
and what I have learnt within those assignments.
During the first assignment, the task was find a video that we could
use as a case study, although this was unknown to us at the start.
The criteria asked us to find a video, online or on any other media,
that we enjoyed or inspired us. My choice was “The Katering
Show”, “an online video web series hosted by two sassy
Melburnian comedians called Kate“, I had never been a fan of any
webseries, however this one caught my eye a week back and their
comedy style had really caught my interest. The show
itself “explore[s] and hilariously break down the food trends that
have come and gone”, and I believed that it “shines in the comedic
and satirical theme that underlines its episodes”. Despite this
assignment not being marked, it was something that I really
enjoyed doing, because I enjoyed digging up background
knowledge on something I was interested on, rather than being
forced to research something that was simply provided for me. I
did multiple posts on my blog on the characters, overall theme of
the show and my rating criteria on the show’s humour and
presentation.
This term has been a real eye opener for me in terms of online
video and experimenting with different elements. I really enjoyed
creating videos for platforms other than YouTube, as well as being
able to focus on tutorial/instructional videos in terms of a non-
linear structure. Ultimately I have enjoyed this class and the way it
has taught me to be more open minded and creative when it comes
to videos online.
