Mastery Journal: MARKET AND CONSUMER RESEARCH ANALYSIS.

This month has been interesting coming into Midway of the month in COVID-19 consuming most of my hands-on work with Arcade Monsters I could still find some kind of way and continue my current campaign of the soft launch in Melbourne Florida. With that being said this month's study has been difficult for me because I’ve never been great with researching but I found the value of how relevant research can be handy when targeting your demographic.

It was also interesting in getting into the mind of your consumers by creating a buyers persona never have I had to think as detailed as Howell person may live how their income is functioning towards them being a future customer in their current day-to-day activities can match to what we bring as entertainment until this month so I got a good insight on that for my future business calls.

doing a lot of research on millennials and generation Z customers was intriguing because I am myself being a millennial can understand The lifestyle of someone of my caliber puts a dent understand and have to relate to someone is in generation Z kind of brought me back to my childhood innocence because of some things they do now I did not too long ago

I wish I knew about swot analysis Long ago they kinda like they who what where when and why of anything business-related to understanding strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats to any decisions you make I feel like I may use that in my day-to-day task from now on because it’s such a benefit when you have to break down any decision you want to make.

Overall, I’m looking forward to next month and what opportunities it may bring.

Mastery Journal: Digital News Production

Digital News Production marks the halfway point of my Master’s program , and I have to say that it has been quite a challenge. I have five more classes to go before I complete my program, and graduate with my Master’s degree in journalism. 

The expectations that I had for this course will only grow from this point. This particular course taught me more about the news production process, and expanded my knowledge of how to utilize programs such as iMovie, Adobe Premiere, and Bridge; programs that make digital news production possible. Throughout this course, my expectations exceeded my original thoughts. Each course has pushed me to face my fear of approaching and interviewing people to complete my assignments. In this course, I have had the opportunity to record various events in ways that I have never attempted before up until this class. I realized the amount of time and effort it takes to narrow down my shots from 62 to 15 to make up the requirements. 

During the third week of course, I found myself getting extremely nervous and overwhelmed about the assignments. One assignment required me to attend a newsworthy event within my community and interview at least two people on-camera. I did not know how I was going to manage this assignment, which leads to discuss the course’s expectations of myself. This course requires me to not only comply with the assignment guidelines, but to learn from my mistakes and consider suggestions from both instructor and my classmates. Although, the one thing I need to do is relax. I get so nervous and scared about interviewing people because it is something I am not used to doing, but I think with more practice and consistency, I will get rid of that feeling eventually. 

The content I felt that helped me the most throughout my experience was the consistent feedback from my instructor and classmates. Each critique helped me realize my mistakes as well as the things I need to consider in the future. I am not sure the direction I will go toward, but whatever that direction may be, it is preparing me for what is about to come.

Project & Team Management

The most important thing about team management is learning each individual person on your team weaknesses as well as strengths. You may have people on your team who are good at giving speeches, on the other hand, you may have some who are good at hands on things like building a visual presentation. You should always learn how to use these strengths to your team’s advantage.

At the very beginning of my Project & Team management course, we had a very interesting assignment where we had to form teams and complete the task given. I believe the assignment was very beneficial and really tested our team management skills. When we started, the first thing I thought about was Bruce Tuckman’s model for team formation. I believe every student experienced these phases from start to end. These phases include the following, Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning.

The forming phase is always the most exciting phase. Everyone is excited about forming teams and the assignment itself. The most difficult part was figuring out our team members. It was kind of comical and a classmate and I could see that there were a lot of chiefs out their but not enough Indians. Although it was the most difficult part, we got through it. I feel if you can get through the storming phase and reach the performing phase, there is no stopping from there. One of my PDL timeline goals was to watch a YouTube video on how to manage team conflict and this is what prepared me for this particular assignment. I feel applying the videos concepts will also assist me in the future with any team task that comes along. I also got more familiar with the online team tool called Wiggio. I suggest any team that has a task and need to share files and conquer time management to use this online tool.
