Reflection

 

What did you enjoy?

I enjoyed searching for videos and videos that really resembled me in the best light. I was a good trip down memory lane. I also loved the editing process. It allowed me to be creative and bring my vision to life. see it it all put together was a happy moment for me. Also getting too share ideas and help my friends with their projects, while getting feed back.But most of all I enjoyed getting through the first project of the year.

What was hard?

Though it did only take me two hours to film and edit. Finding the time was the hardest part for me. Between work, classes, and my home life. It could all get in the way and cause me to procrastinate. That and putting my words and previous blogs to life. Writing everything I was gonna do was a lot easier said than done. But I enjoy film making and editing. I wouldn't phrase it as hard, but rather challenging.

What was easy? 

What was easiest for me was the brainstorming. Coming up with ideas and letting my creativity run wild. Though the project is simple. Small details I doubt anyone would understand really added to the 1 minuet project. Like editing, and experimenting with color and how it resembles mood. That and pressing that publish button. Boy was it a relief.

What did you Learn?

I learned that the actual process of media is not just taking a camera and pressing record. You actually have to think and make a plan. At first though I believed the blogs weren't important. But when it came time to film, they were extremely helpful. Trust I will more effort into future blogs. While also trying to think outside the box. I believe I could have been way more in depth and creative, but hopefully I can do better in next assignments.
