MDMC2007 DAY1



Day 1

Fear and Frustration


It's the first day of the Milwaukee Digital Media Conference 2007. In 4 days, my team and I will have produced a podcast, video and blog documenting our project. I'm fearful and overwhelmed by the expectations. We are supposed to have the script for our podcast tomorrow. It needs to be edited and documented. The expectations for quality are high.

It's a team project. It's always difficult to divide the work. I volunteered to blog and do video editing because I've done it before. So here I am blogging.

I had difficulty connecting to the wireless network and had to abandon my laptop for a borrowed one from the instructor. My frustration and anxiety level are already high. The most difficult task will be synthesizing the script. I've only now realized that by being the blogger, I did not attend the Audacity session, which is what I really wanted to learn.

Looking at the course outline - I think it would be wise to spend the entire morning tomorrow working on our script. We had so little time to discuss and it would be unfair to our scriptwriter to have her do everything. I'll try to sketch out my ideas and bring them in or email them to everyone - perhaps that will help.
