Semester Reflection

    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.

1st Semester Reflection

This year I gained many strengths. Some of my strengths include project management, cooperation, and leadership. I have strong project management because I get my assignments done on time and they are quality packages. My cooperation skills are strong too because I communicate well with Haley and calm her down when she's stressed out. I have great leadership skills because I can lead people without being bossy. Also my leadership skills have helped me finish my work on time and work well with others. However, I have a few weaknesses like staying on task and being proactive. My plan to become more proactive is by helping out with more things after school and helping set up the broadcast. I will also sit in on the game day broadcasts and learn how to work the equipment. I will stay on task by working on my portfolio and my blogs. Overall this semester was very successful. I learned how to work well with others and what it takes to be a strong leader. I also learned how to be a go...

  My personality type is an ESFJ. ESFJ are kind, smart, and detailed workers. We are concerned about other peoples feelings more than our own. ESFJ take pride and their work and appreciate praise and compliments. I think my personality type fits me right on. For example ESFJ are organized people and  we get our work done on time and that describes me perfectly!   Whenever I participate in group settings I mostly try to be the lead role. I work well and cooperate with my other group members. If my role in the group is not the leadership role then I still tend to participate as much as I can.                      However, sometimes my mom misunderstands me because I try to boss my little brother around. My personality sometimes clashes with my family because we are all very loud and we try to talk over each other most of the time. For example my brothers and I's personality  clash because he isn't very o...

I created this logo by using adobe illustrator. I used the shape tool to create the circle and then i used the color tool to change the color to blue. I then used the triangle tool to create the chevron effect and used the color tool to change the colors. I also used the type tool to type my name and changed the font to reflect my girly and feline side.  Some problems I faced while creating my logo were creating the chevron pattern and figuring out how to position my name.  I addressed the problems by first testing out different shapes and lines to form the chevron then i used different colors to create the illusion of chevron. Some things i did well in the logo project was creating the illusion of chevron and the different colors that went into my logo. However I still need to work on adding different levels of interest and adding more depth. Next time I do this project I will spend more time on details and on the shape and less time on choosing fonts. ...
