Final Reflection

Final Reflection

The most valuable takeaway from technology is learning how to use final cut pro. Final cut pro is very important because that is the software we used to create our videos. Collaboration is also important because in a news room you must work with the people around you to create a product. Communication is important because it gives us the ability to tell others what we need them for or to tell them if we need help. As  newscaster our job is to communicate through our  news stories and tell the public whats going on. Project management is important because it is the time frame we need to complete a package. In the real world a reporter will be given multiple projects at a time and it is their responsibility to get it done. Leadership is always a great quality  because we need more leaders in this world. Also in a news room the leaders are the reporters and directors because they tell everyone what to do and when it needs to be done. Great news stories come from great leaders.

I learned these five guarantees by being in this program. I learned how to communicate by working in groups to create ONW NOW. I learned great leadership skills by working with partners to create our news packages. Project management is a valuable skill and from being in this program I have learned how to manage my time in class and finish my packages on time. Along the way I faced challenges with working with others and time management but I worked through it and overcame it.

My greatest strength is my leadership skills. I tend to take charge in groups and most of the time that means our projects are done on time. I think being a great leader is very important because they are the people who help their group prevail. My Weakness is staying on task. Staying on task a little difficult for me because I have made a lot of great friends in this program and i just love to chat with them.

I have improved tremendously in my voice overs. My voice overs are leading into each soundbite and add to the story. I still need to work on fixing the lighting and framing. When I am out filming I tend to forget the 6 shot system. However, with the skills I have learned from this class I will be able to fix that easily. One thing I would change is the requirement of doing these reflections as our final. Also the 5 Guarantees are not really implemented in our class.

In conclusion this year I learned how to work well with others in order to create a great package. I also made some great friends that helped me complete my projects. The program is a great way to teach students collaboration and how to problem solve.

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. ...

I read about the  Las Vegas Shooting  and the tragic loss their city has faced. The reporter did a great job giving the public specific information on who the killer was and his life before the shooting. They also did well titling the story because it stated the 4 w's. They could improve by giving more information on the victims and about the festival. Also they should've stated new information. I didn't learn any new formation in this article because they are repeating what was said on the news. I learned that I need to include the 5 W's in my recap. I also learned that you need to give new information in my recap. Also I will write more informative articles and use more visual aids.

I watched a USC football recap USC Football recap  that ESPN produced and they did a great job using a shot sheet. They told me the situation, action, and the result. The commentator also continuously told me what quarter the event occurred and what the score was. ESPN also used interesting graphics to tell the audience the situation. They need to work on more enthusiasm and personality with the voice overs.  The shots could be a little more varied. He needed to use more analysis and less of an overview. He could've gotten an interview with the coach and another player. I can implement some of these things in my videos and news packages. I would use the shot sheet more. I would also need to use a cool lower thirds because it made the video interesting. In the video they also used graphics and I can use that in my packages as well.
