DOCUMENTARY REFLECTION



Now that you are finished with your documentary, reflect on what you have learned. Answer the following questions in a well thought out paragraph.

1. What have you learned in the documentary assignment? List three different things that you have learned and what you learned.
2. What has this assignment taught you about video production?
3. Was this assignment a good final project of the year? Why or why not? What did it teach you to improve you production skills?
4. What mistakes did you make on the project? How could you avoid them next time?

Three things I've learned in this documentary assignment is that planning, communication skills between the client and group members, and professionalism is essential. Planning is essential because without good planning, the client will not be prepared for things we need from them. Communication skills are important because you have to get to know your client before you start shooting questions at them. Making them comfortable helps get better answers out of them. Professionalism is essential because it brings out the organization and communication skills out. It is the core of all the other essentials in my opinion. I think it was a pretty good final project because it is cumulative. It involved a lot of previous units and made us go back to think about how we can use our knowledge to make our project turn out great. Our group's weakness was communication and planning. Without communication, we were unable to plan out what we needed to complete. There were a few misunderstandings that led to some missing shots and incomplete assignments.

LETTER TO YOURSELF

Look back at your experience over the last two years here at Film/Video Production. Reflect on what you've learned, accomplished, the friends you've made and compose a letter to yourself on the first day of class in the beginning class. Imagine that this letter couple be delivered to yourself on that day and he/she could read it. What advice would you give your past self? Would you tell them they are going to have a great experience? What would you warn them about? Dear Angela from the beginning of second semester,       Here is some advice before going into this class: don't let being the new student stop you from expressing your opinions. The people in this class are very open and welcoming. Don't be afraid of them. They probably won't judge you for having ideas. It's okay to be wrong. It's better to say something than say nothing. You know more than you think you may know. This class is going to be a lot of fun but also really stressful. Be prepare...

The Boom Microphone

Summarize 3 different key functions of a boom microphone that you picked up from this short video. What is one question you still have on how to operate a boom? Three different key functions I learned from this video: boom mics are good at picking up quality audio from different angles. It works best for closeup shots because the boom mic can be as close as it can be to the talent. It is also important for the mic to always be pointed at the subjects' mouth and not their general direction or at the top of their head.
