Overview
This semester we focused on convergence media. It was really interesting to see how it all works and to create convergence pieces of our own. Here is some of my work from this semester.
Advanced Feature Story
For this project, we had to make a feature news piece that was timely and relevant to ONW. My group chose to do our video about finals. We interviewed three students and asked them their opinions on finals. This project took about two weeks to complete. One of the challenges we faced was to adjust all the audio clips so they weren't too loud or too quiet. One of the most important things we learned is that the use of nat noise can make a huge difference in a feature news piece. Some of the feedback we got was the lack of transitions, so we went back and added video, and audio transitions to make the video seem smoother. Overall I was really impressed with the outcome of this project and thought me and my group did a really good job.
ONW Now News Story
For this project, we had to create a news piece for a sophomore version of ONW Now. My group chose to do the underclassmen play. This news piece took my group about a week, we had to finish on time because the sophomore version of ONW Now needed to be completed before the end of the semester. The biggest challenge we faced was probably the deadline because we had very limited time. I learned a lot about news writing and styles of news writing such as the inverted pyramid. Because we were short on time we didn't get any feedback, but if I were to go back and fix something I would probably rearrange my interview clips to make the whole video make more sense. I thought the final product was ok but if I had more time I think I could make it a whole lot better.
Time Management
I used my class time to make sure me and my group were on the same page and to finish the bulk of my work. If I finished a project and had time left over I would discuss with my group, and see what we could do to improve it. I would also come in before or during Raven 50 to finish any work I didn't have time to do in class.
Strengths and Areas Of Improvement
One of my strengths is time management, I was able to complete every project on time. I also think I am pretty good at editing but I still have a lot to learn. Something I want to improve is my writing and storyboarding because sometimes I would rush through it.
Summary
What I really liked about this semester was the creative freedom we had on all our projects. If I were to do one thing differently it would probably spend more time writing and planning. My goal for next semester is to come in during Raven 50 more often. Overall I thought this semester was very fun and a great learning experience, I can't wait for entertainment next semester.
