WEEK 4 REFLECTION: RISE PEER FEEDBACK

Student: Elizabeth Peterson | Media Communications Bachelors of Science Degree (MCBS) Program

BlogFrom: the Heart/Love: the Mind


    I had the honor of doing a peer review of the Digital Story for Elizabeth Peterson (my fellow New Media Tools classmate at Full Sail University) using the RISE Model for Peer Feedback. I really enjoyed watching her video and learning more about her journey from where she once was, to where she is, and where she is on her way to! Please check out her blog at the link above and also watch the video before you dive into the review.



Reflection
I really respect how you were very open, honest, and detailed with your story. I know that it takes a lot of courage to speak on very emotional subjects and events in your past. The positive thing though is that those things make us who we are today. You talked about your marriage that you went into very young and how much you learned from that going into your current relationship. I can see that the motivation from your loved one encouraged you to pursue your dreams. This really makes me want to take a moment to maybe get more personal with my story. I also enjoyed seeing all your very captivating photos. I feel that they give the viewer a closer look into your personality.
Inquiry
When you speak of your current relationship, would you say that was the turning point in your life that guided your decision to pursue an education at Full Sail? In your video it seems that with his support it really motivated you to make a change for the better. Even though it was you who took the step towards your new future, his support and positivity seemed to give you the boost you needed to take that step and I think that is absolutely awesome.
Suggestion
Your video was very detailed with great photography. The only thing I could think of to suggest is maybe more pictures of you when you were younger at the beginning of your video. You talked a little about being homeschooled and some of your time in elementary and middle school and would have been cool to see some photos of your life during that time.
Elevate
Maybe you could also expand the story at the end and talk more about your experience since starting the MCBS program at Full Sail and also where do you expect it to take you. You could talk about some of the career opportunities that you are looking to venture in to after you graduate and some things like that. Again your video was already very detailed and full of great visuals and these could help expand more on your story.

     Again it was a pleasure to review your digital story and I hope that my feedback can give you a little assistance as you go in to revise your final project.
