Project 2 Composing Process

While composing Project 2, Jill and I’s first step was to go through our technical document and pick out the important information we wanted to include in our final product. Since our document is so many pages, we had to pick and choose what we wanted to focus on. Some of the information that was in the document was too sophisticated and complex for us to understand, which is why we decided to talk about the points that would be more universally understood by our audience and that we would be comfortable talking about. We produced what we are bringing to the workshop by summarizing the key points of our document for our audience. As of right now, we are thinking of recording a podcast for our final product, so we want to be able to understand what we are talking about and put the information into words that others will also understand. We are in the process of getting our ideas and thoughts organized so we can write a script for the podcast. This process is much different than Project 1 because we have to think more outside the box and be creative, whereas Project 1 was an essay so it was more straight forward. Visual media comes with more options and choices for the final product, which can make it more difficult to figure out how to produce a successful mediation of our technical documentation. I find a project that revolves around creating a lot harder than a straight forward essay that answers a question. Working in pairs affords me the opportunity to discuss my ideas with someone else in order to solidify my ideas, or be presented with a new opinion. I think working in pairs makes for a better final product because it includes smart ideas from 2 people instead of just 1. composing new media affects the writing process a lot because you have to go about it in a new way, which is challenging. In revising, I hope that we can create a script that captures all the important parts of our technical document, while also being creative and appealing to the audience we are recording the podcast for.
