During the first semester of Sophomore year in video I learned a lot of new things. I made a lot of new friends and created many fun memories. The most memorable by far is seeing jared's video on ONW Now and watching everyones reaction to Jared the snake catcher. Through out this class we have done 4 projects. We have done a basic procedure video, an interview with just sound, a news package over the blood drive, a news package over a fellow student and an ONW Now episode.
The projects we did were fairly simple but they did have their difficulties. One difficulty I faced was trying to work around my partners schedule to film them. She was in GSA club so I was going to film her participating in the club and she would film participating in softball practice but we had difficulties because she just moved. in other words we had to find a way to film me doing something at school because she couldn't stay after school. Other than that the most difficult part or frustrating thing is not having enough b-roll for your video and that was frustrating because you can't repeat shots and if you don't have enough b-roll then your video won't be as good.
In general I didn't face many problems with projects or working with people. Other than trying to work around peoples schedules the only problem was getting enough footage. Also in the middle of the semester we had to switch teachers and that was a major shift because she didn't know what we already learned or did and at first I would definitely say there was some tension between our new teacher and fellow students. But after we got everything settled and solved everything else went smoothly.
Some things I learned this semester was how to create a news package and layer audio and video.
The technical skills were all things I learned form last year but I would say I improved on them this year. We used final cut to edit our videos and that is something we used last year so I already knew how to use it. However my project management skills improved in this class, I get my projects done on time and I also am not wasting any class time.
Next semester I am excited to see what new projects we will do and what new concepts I will learn. Looking back on this last semester I know that I will need to improve on getting more and better footage. I will also improve my leads and packages. New concepts I hope to learn are how to clean up my edits and how to do freeze frames.
