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...

3-POINT LIGHTING

What are three key points that the presenter makes about lighting? Why are each of them important? What is one point that you would like to learn more about? Hair lights separate the subject from the background. It makes the body pop out and frame the subject. The key is the most important light. It is the strongest light that is hitting the subject. Fill lights even out the shadows. The key light is usually closest to the subject. The fill light is twice as far from the subject. 

SHOOTING OUTDOORS

What are 3 considerations you must keep in mind when shooting outdoors? How would you use a reflector? Why? 3 considerations to keep in mind while shooting outdoors is that the subject has to adjust to the light so they aren't constantly squinting. The reflector is usually used to even out harsh shadows and give better lighting. There are two sides to it. One has a more metallic look and the other side is white which makes the reflection softer.
