I learned to work with a group and learned how to make the box with a group

Product.
Our product is called ball in a box it is a box that turns into a hoop and a ball inside that you shoot

Work
I worked on the logo/3D revolve  and brought in the ball plus made a box. Zach made the box on the computer and and brice made all the other things and helped me and Zach

Overall
I think my grouped worked good together and that we made a good product we had some troubles when both Zach and Bryce where gone and i had to make the 3D revolve. I liked the product and i think it is a good idea to have to use.

Great Value

Great Value

Scope:

We had to create a short film that was between three and five minutes. Once we got told that we had to do the short film we had some difficulty deciding what to do it over at first but we decided to o with Anton's idea and it end up be inning a great film.

 
Process:
we got are group chosen and then we decided on the film at first we argued a lot because me and Brendan had n idea to do a baseball type film but Anton wanted to do it based off the office. After a day of arguing we decided to go with Anton because he was done writing the script and was ready to film plus he was our director. we filmed up until the monday of the week the project was due, the rest of the week we spent editing and friday we turned it into blogger and watched them Monday.

Different:

I would have redone some of the shots and gotten some more B roll. I also thought at sometimes we got off task but we still got the project done. We also had some difficulty at the beginning of the video because Anton was gone with Tennis and so we started to do a different story and when he got back he didn't like it and got mad at us at the beginning but at the end i think we worked great together.

Similar: 

I liked the script and how we just got to play around with it and didn't have to say directly what it said. I also liked the group and the rolls we had to play in the movies. All around i think it was one of my best groups and that we worked great together and i think we made a great film.

Take Away:

I will take a lot away from this dilm probably the most was working together even when we didn't like some ideas to make them better. I learned a lot from this year i learned the six shot sequence and i also learned how to interview and do voice overs, another thing was how to edit videos and how to work with people that i didn't want to work with sometimes. I will use this stuff next year and years after when i am in Sports Broadcasting.

The Year:

This has been a good year at the beginning when Elijah and David where in here it was a lot of fun and i had fun doing the afferent types of videos and learning how to do stuff with the camera and to make good films. Then semester two hit and Elijah and David had transferred out and i thought i wasn't going to like this class but then i started to work with different people and it started to get fun again and i was glad i stayed in E-comm. Over the year i have made new friends and have had fun making some pretty good movies. The worst part was when you said you where going to give me Elijah and David a detintion but all around it was a good year.

 

semester final

What Did I Learn?
I learned how to do a lot of new things this semester like how to film wrestling which is different then filming soccer because you are a lot closer and have to be paying attention at all time because something might happen where in soccer the ball stays at the mid-field some times where you don't need to film everything. I also learned how to set up my interviews better, writer better questions for the interview, and how to work the equipment for the show.

How Did I Learn It?
I learned how to do most of these things from watching others and what they did and how they did it. I also learned a lot of it from Parker at the games or in class when he would help me with the filming and the write ups and editing. Another person who has helped me with my writing was the teachers looking over the writing and editing it telling me what was right and what i needed to fix.

Why is it important?
Its important to learn this stuff because I will have to use it in the class next year and if i decide to do this as my Job then I will need it then also. It also helps with regular day things like talking to people and having conversations with people you don't know. Another thing is it will help when you are getting interviewed for a job or if you ever have to interview someone yourself it would help you with that because you are use to it and wont be nerves or scared heading into it.

Strengths?
One of my strengths is filming and getting to every game I'm suppose to film even if I have practice or something going on I still try to get to the games for at least a half of it. Also my filming because I got good shots and my footage was used in a lot of the stories. Another strength is turning stuff in on time and doing my assignments the next day after filming.

Weaknesses?
One of my weaknesses is class time and what I do with it spending time on my phone, playing, games and talking to friends when I have nothing to do. Also need to work more on my writing and editing film so i have less mistakes that need to be corrected. I have improved my writing from first semester having less errors and more details in it. I have also improved my editing by learning new things and making my films better.

What Will I Do With What I Learned?
I will use what I learned to help me communicate with friends and also in job interviews or out in the world. I will also use it in this class again next year to make my stuff and hopefully learn more to make my films better then they where this year. I will also use it in college if I keep on doing sports broadcasting to help me pass that class and get a job. If I don't do sports broadcasting then it will help me with my communication and writing skills.

Anything I would change?
I would change the grading so that kids know what they have before the end of the semester and then in a rush to get a story done to turn in for a grade they want. I would also change the way we do filming and that so people don't keep on going when others don't go at all.

Summary?
Great class had a lot of fun and made new friends. I learned a lot that will help me in the future. I would like some of the stuff to change but other than that it was good.
