Looking back on this project I can see how much others and I have developed over the year, 75% of this group I worked with on our first project and I can see that our ways of thinking and communicating has vastly changed. Especially the way I communicate with them asking if they need any feedback or understanding of why we have certain elements or entities and I can see that by helping the group develop that it will help my development because by explaining to others it reassures me what I am doing and brings me to hearing it make sense or maybe allows me to see any problems I might have. Throughout this semester and more noticeably in this project I began to see that there are ways of improving the idea and that as long as I am always asking questions I will be able to improve on an idea. I am usually stubborn on sticking with an idea I like and when others question about this idea instead of looking at their reasoning I try to make my decisions for this idea stronger and can become quite defensive over it without being open minded.
I think I was interested in this project because of how much it relates to another persons emotions and how we can perceive and change what their thoughts are and how they act and feel based on their surroundings, giving them a chance to venture outside of their normal lifestyle. As we chose a theme that was based on repressing the Player and making it difficult for them to know what decisions to make, I think this really moved forward my motivation because I have background knowledge from a past English course that was heavily based on repression. I also think because a lot of my favourite movies, books and video games include an overpowering force it has helped me relate to a world that I have some familiarity to.
I think that some of the things I can take forward for next year is find a way to make myself motivated and make the work I am doing open minded so I can bring in new ideas without it being completely stretched out to the point I become overwhelmed and uninspired.
