Tutorial Write Up

During my tutorial with Ms Weir we discussed ways in which I could improve my writing style and technique focussing on my weaker areas. We recognised that as a strength I'm able to express myself clearly and with depth, creating a sophisticated imagery for the audience to visualise. As well as this another strength in my writing was the sentence structure used for a specific effect. In particular my initial piece I wrote titled 'Harsh Reality' used longer sentences to build up intrigue and by the end the short powerful sentences were effective giving the overall piece a strong ending. When looking at what could be improved I looked at blogs from other peers and found that I could improve on the use of different vocabulary rather than sticking with words I'm comfortable with I could explore beyond my known scope and use more sophisticated language. I struggle with this mainly due to the fact I feel uncomfortable in using words that Im unfamiliar with and so I end up not knowing what my own writing means which I dislike as I don't want to overcomplicate my ideas. To get around this I could perhaps research the meanings of different words and look at examples were they have been used and use them whenever it is appropriate.
