After commenting on other people’s pitches and providing them with feedback, it has really made me reflect on my own pitch and gain a better understanding in the areas where I could have some room for improvement.
This has given me the perfect opportunity to self-evaluate my own pitch, through re reading the criteria and task instructions in order to provide the best feedback as possible to my peers, as well as using that to additionally integrate within my own digital artefact.
I commented on three pitches, one focused on minimalism as their media niche, another focused on helping men think of nice gifts for their loved ones, and another who will be creating podcasts about their daily thoughts.
Because these were all very different ideas, it made me have to help critique their work using different techniques to match their concepts. This allowed me to practice adapting to multiple possible ideas, and I used this to help think of what I could personally also do better in my own digital artefact (which also is very different from the three ideas I commented on.)
After providing feedback to my peers, here are a few things I decided I need to work on with my own digital artefact:
- I could have spoken in my pitch with more enthusiasm. I believe the tone of my voice drops off near the end of my video.
- My pitch could include a few more links to case studies, popular sources and academic sources to integrate with my digital artefact idea. As well as, drawing more from lecture materials and resources to highlight how the BCM 241 lectures have provided me with inspiration and help guided me to my idea on my digital artefact today.
- I think I could have also explained my concept in a clearer way, talked more on the process of autoethnography and make my timetable for the process of my digital artefact more detailed.
- Finally, I think my digital artefact needs to have a better title. A title that is a lot more interesting and captures the audience’s attention instantly.
Providing feedback to my peer’s pitches made me need to re-read the criteria’s for the pitch and ultimately, allowed me to reflect and self-evaluate my own digital artefact.
I wouldn’t have been able to list the correction that I believe needs to be made unless I conducted feedback to other people’s work.
I can now start integrating the corrections I have discovered from other people’s pitches into my own work, and begin to make it the best as possible.
