“The sequence of industrial, administrative, or other processes through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion.” – lexico.com

What is a quality workflow?  How do we develop it?  Below are elements of the production cycle that most creative people move through as they create something.  First, we must identify the stages of project production. What is each stage and what are the quality checks for each stage.  Read on and find out!

Stages of Creation Development

Inspiration

How do we find ideas to develop?

• I think helpful tools are the weekly videos that you make and youtube videos are also really helpful.
• The process that we are using is slow, but in the end it all adds up. and I understand that you have process that we are working through. I thinks its slow because I thought we would be using are instummits as soon as we got them.
• I think that we measure quality by looking at it and seeing how hard someone worked on their project.
• The person who measures quality may be your teacher or may be yourself or your moms it all depends on where you are.

Intention

How do we clarify our specific goal(s) for a project?

• I use Schoology because it has all of my work in there
• You should sit down and do it yourself and then have someones look over it.
• If you succeed at your goal then I think you and only you can measure your quality.
• Your quality can be measured by your teacher.

Pre-production

How can we brainwrite, brainstorm, storyboard, and plan our ideas at this phase?

• I think that we can use sound trap and that is really helpful because you make music and share with other people.
• Start by working with a group, talk about it and a make a plan.
• I think you can measure quality by how long did the job take and what did it take to get it done.
• I think that your teacher or mom can choose how well the quality was done

Production

How do we communicate with each other and execute our plan for this phase? This is where we actually make the project.

• Texting,Zoom break out rooms and facetime/texting
• Start in a group and expand your ideas with other people.
• You can measure quality by asking your peers what they think.
• You can decide what the quality is by having a teacher or your mom look at it.

Post-production

How do we communicate with each other and execute our final stages of the project for this phase? This is where we publish the project.

• Texting,Zoom break out rooms and facetime.
• Run it through Mr La Duc see what he thinks and then show the class.
• You can measure quality by what the teacher thinks and feedback from your peers.
• Yourself and and your moms and your teachers measure quality.

Presentation/Performance

How do we share our project with our learning community, advisory members, and the world?

• We can use zoom and screen share and show people what we did.
• we can make a list of presenters and decide who goes first.
• Have the class take a vote to decide whose work is best
• The class and your teacher and your moms can decide how good the quality is.
