Reflection on Blog

Early in  the year, I learned the importance of film-making. You can see that on my first film, Baler Interviews, I didin't even know how to upload videos to youtube. I also didin't understand how to use Premiere Pro. I had to watch my partner edit a big part of the video so I can then do it. The first video was difficult for me. On my second video, Extracting and Overlays, I did a little better. I learned how to use Premiere Pro much better. I wrote in my reflection that I didin't know how to make the titles that go with the videos, but know Im actually pretty good at it. I got got better as we kept making more videos. At first, I realized that i don't like being in videos, what I like is doing them and editing. It was really difficult for me to understand at first how you do clips and how Premiere Pro works because im not a fast learner. But with time, I did much better and I understood more by the second semester.

What I learned in this class is that making films is not an easy thing to do. When I watch films now, I think about what I've learned this year. I see the different types of shots they use, over the shoulder shots, and angles. I also lerned how this class works. Im much better at editing films, using Premiere Pro, uploading videos to you tube and to my blog. I also see that even a 30 seconds commercial or clip takes kind of a long time. First they have to write a script, which actually does help to organize how you want your video. Then you have to see what type of shots you have to use to get the message across in your video. Making films is not an easy thing but this whole year I've learned how to do it in my teledramatic arts class.
