Content Outline

This blog will look at the outline of the final project for this semester. I will outline how I want this last project to go and how I want it to be constructed. This project will be a video essay.

I will begin my video with an introduction section that gives a little background on my writing experience. This introduction will then go more in depth about this semesters writing and experiences over these projects. I will outline each projects goals and what it took to complete them, including all the sacrifices that I had to make to make each project happen. Hopefully I can grab the readers attention through different subjects people can relate to.

The first main section of the video will focus on the first project for this semester, this segment will look at how I wrote my QRG. I will address how I had to focus on the genre conventions heavily because I had not previously written one before. I will look at how I had to focus on the time aspect of building the project and managing all the blog posts. I will look at how this project helped me develop skills for researching ideas.

The second section of the video will focus on the podcast that I wrote for my second project. I will discuss how I had to get used to recording different audio segments and editing them together. This was a skill that I didnt know before. The podcast was a unique skill that I hadn't developed before, I was able to talk to different professors and hone my skills of interviewing people as well as interacting in a professional environment.

The third section of the video will focus on the essay that I just recently completed. I will discuss the challenges that I experienced while writing the essay including finding a way to make my research into an argument. This section will look at how I was able to dig into a problem and propose a solution. I will also talk about how I struggled to get through this essay due to various different concepts.

The conclusion of the video will focus on how I have grown as a writer or creator of content. I will talk about why I need to have decent writing skills for my major. I might also discuss my personal experiences in the class overall, including how my time management skills were crafted in this class.

  1. Hi Jason!

    I believe you are on a great start with this content outline! I really like the way that yours is structured chronologically, it gives the project a very nice sense of flow to it. However I do not think you need to spend the introduction talking about the goals of the projects, as we all completed the projects and it will drop the audience's attention out of the video essay.

  2. Hi Jason,

    Overall, you did a great job on the content outline. I liked how you talk about (basically) exactly what you will be addressing in each section.

    However, there are a few recommendations that I have for you. For one, I am not sure you actually have anything that will grab the audience's attention. I would suggest perhaps establishing ethos by describing a person writing story that is both relevant and interesting.

    I would also recommend further developing the level of detail that each of the paragraphs has. For instance, perhaps state what will go in each section in terms of video, audio, etc. This will make the creation of your rough draft quite a bit easier.

    Again, great job. Just work on the development of a few aspects.

  3. Hey jason,

    I think you have a great start on your outline. I like how it is structured. The flow of going from project 1 to 2 to 3 makes the most sense. My main concern is your introduction though.

    Your introduction may be bland if you open with just your goals. I'd try to make it more friendly to the audience if possible. One way that you could do this is making your video kinda like a guide for incoming Freshman, or maybe just a discussion of your writing situations.

    Goodluck!

  4. Hey Jason, I love your outline.

    I am just here to give you some advice on what you could add to your outline. It's from my point of view good to go just going to give you tips on what you could do. In your video, whenever you speak about yourself for more than say 5 seconds, you can put video of someone who can represent you in the video like a cartoon or a celebrity

    Good luck!
