END OF SEMESTER GOALS



Look back at your goals for the Fall and Spring Semester blog posts. Were you able to achieve your goals? Why or why not? What could you have done differently? Looking back at them, what could you have done to focus more on your goals in the course?

I didn't put down any goals in my blog but I know that in joining this class, I wanted to learn as much as I could and I wanted to be able to work well with other students. I was able to learn a lot about Premiere and I learned about scriptwriting but I don't think I learned enough about sound. I struggled a lot with that unit and I struggled with a lot of the technical stuff like learning about cameras and working with microphones. Those things scared me away so I avoided using them as best as I could. I enjoyed the creative part and I learned a lot of things like focusing on themes and motifs. I improved socially and I was able to work professionally with others and outside of class. If I confronted my fear, I think I could have done better in this class.

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.

FINAL EXPERIENCE WORDCLOUD

If you had to pick three things that you found the most valuable from this class experience, what would they be? What do you feel overall that this course has helped you prepare for? I think the group work was the most valuable because it helped me socially. I learned to act professionally at times were professionalism was most needed and I was able to stay calm and composed even when a group member was being immature and rude. Another thing I enjoyed was the class discussions and class work where we all created one thing. I liked the activity during the storytelling unit where we all passed around papers to create a story.
