Video Reflection
Video class had a huge impact on me by teaching many useful things that will help my career in e-comm but also it taught me a lot about life lessons and getting along with other people. These things that i learned are collaboration,communication,leadership,project management and technology. These are very impactful things because each have features that will impact each and every little bit of your life and help you progress as a person,worker and e-comm student.Video is what i am looking going into so i think that each thing we did was huge on helping me later in E-comm and i will look forward to using all of these in Sports next year.
I think a huge thing that i learned in communication category is that talking with people before a production is very important and making sure that everyone knows whats going on. I would say this was a huge piece to me because i am very extraverted and enjoy talking so communication is not a problem but i think that it helped me expand on it because there is always more to learn and expand on and i think this will be a huge thing in my e-comm career. My biggest weakness in communication is that i am not always open minded and i tend to lead groups which sometimes makes me not listen as much as i should. I think my biggest strength is that i can always be sociable and make sure everyone feels like they fit in.
Another piece of Video was a technology part and i would say i think that video taught me about how to use a camera and certain ways to set up shots. These features are good to learn but i think i could grow a lot in this because i struggled to white balance like in my 2nd feature story, i did not white balance so it was very blue and this was a problem because it wasn't easy to edit out. I would say my biggest strength is that i am good at editing, so i can add sound effects and i can usually fix my bad shots and filming and make them seem like they aren't as bad. We did not go over cameras very much so i think that hurt all my projects because i did not know how to get it perfectly level or to white balance or make the audio channels even. I think my biggest change would be maybe spending more time on learning it and not jumping right into because it seemed rushed also maybe doing like a movie evaluation so we could learn what the best shots are to use in our films because for a movie we could write down each shot in the movie and then tally how much we actually used of each.
Project management was a huge thing in our video because deadlines were stable and i think this helped me focus on finishing the video and making sure i got all the edits in. A weakness i had was filming i did not plan well so sometimes we had to rush the filming which hurt when we had to edit so overall it would not save time so this was a good lesson to learn. Also other video classes that i have friends in they never got anything in on time so Mrs.Morris taught me a lot about deadlines and that you can't finish stuff late because then you will always learn to finish stuff late. My biggest strength is that i am good at the project part so i never make something half way done i always make sure that it is complete and looks good even if i had to cut stuff out or stretch some things to make them seem real. I think my biggest challenge was when we had to come up with ideas because i have ideas but sometimes you have to think whether you could get them done in time and so i changed them and like feature stories, i could not figure out what i wanted to do for a feature story so it put me behind. Something i would change is maybe first quarter be a little more structured like tell us you are editing this day and this week you are filming so we can get it done because most of us need a little push and organization to be learned not already have it.
I like the collaboration in video because we kept the same seats all year so i became friends with the people around me and that helped later when i made videos because i saw them as a good source of feedback and tips which helped all my videos get done and i would say that collaboration is a huge part of video because it teaches us all how to talk to one another and getting feedback is what helps videos more than anything else. My biggest weakness is sometimes i take control and kind of tell people what to do but just dont always let my ideas be trashed on. My biggest strength is mostly the entire category because this collaboration is what i am so good at. I talk a lot but also like to make sure that ideas are spread out and look for places to throw in fun ideas that people have had. I wouldn't say that i would change much about collaboration except maybe doing our first feature story with a partner just so we can meet people around the class and not have that awkward time when we first have a partner or getting feedback to people we don't know.
Leadership is something i think our E-comm program lacks because i feel like a lot of the teachers give too much ease or just don't care like freshmen year i never did anything which i was okay with but it waste a lot of time and i think that e-comm would be fun if we used time wisely then got extra time to make things we are passionate about which would be big thing to do because that is what makes the best videos and other medias. I would say leadership is a big strength for me because i get stuff done, i do not waste time if i dont want to which is what we need our program to have and then everyone will want to get in because even as a sophomore we can make good films and teach a lot. I think Mrs.Morris leaving will be hard on E-comm because she does teach people to lead and get stuff done but i think that eventually maybe after we are all gone from ONW then e-comm will build up and actually have good assemblies and not have so much people just wasting their time.
I would say my conclusion this video class is just that i did it because i wanted to drop out the whole first semester because i thought it was torture but when I learned and got to make fun videos that i enjoyed and make new stories without coming up with random ideas then i enjoyed it. I like doing the anchoring even though it was not easy because it challenged me and made sure that i as ready to show my skills off and our classes skills off and make an ONW now and i think that even though it is my last day of this class that this class has taught me a lot and i look forward to using these skills later on and even if it is little skills or small feedback it all has made me a better student and person and i would recommend anyone to take this class because it really does build character.
