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.
