Video Retrospectives at Escape Studios

At the end of most of our undergraduate modules at Escape Studios our students write a retrospective of approximately 2,400 words. Students must explain how they approached the practical work in the module, what they learned, and how they might perform a similar task better the next time around. The idea is to reflect on their performance, analyse what went wrong, celebrate what went right, and draw conclusions from the process.  Lately we've been exploring some alternative methods of creating a retrospective, either by writing a blog or - as in the case of Ross Green's Video Retrospective above - cutting a video.
