Reflecting on my blog

At the beginngin of this class I didn't know a thing about making videos. I didn't know anything about inserts and overlays and camera angles. But a lot of that has changed now. Early in the year, I didn't know how to post the videos in the right format. You can see that in some of my older posts but now With more practice and knowledge I know exactly the right format and everything. Something that I have improved on a lot would be my editing. In my group video on cyberbullying, I was the editor and you can see how I grew from that editing through the video. Another axample would be in the lunch line video. There was great improvement in both. Throughout the year I learned about camera angles and storyboards. Those two things com,e hand in hand when you are planning to film a video. You can see the distinguished shots I chose to use in the lunch line video. That really shows how I have learned and improved this year. I leraned how to use special effects very well during the year and I am now very comfortable using them in clips. You can see my improvement on those from the last view videos I have uploaded. Another thing I have learned this year would be the over the shoulder technique. I have learned the importance of this when filming because of how it represents the character that is being shown. Another thing that is shown on my blog would be the title work shops. Now they seem very easy to do but in the beginning it was very comfusing to me. These are things that are shown throughout my blog that reflect how I have improved this year.
Something that I have improved on that you cannot see on my blogs would be how to download film from cameras and how to operate cameras. Im really impresses with myself that I now know how to do these things because I always felt that I wasnt really good with technology. But I remember in the beginning of the year when we learned how to work the camera and upload clips it just stuck with me and I practiced it throughout the year so I improved so much.
My experience in this class has been amazing. There have been some stressful times but overall it has taught me so much and I want to continue film making as a hobby. This class has definately opened up a new door for me. I have learned so many cool things that I want to put in to practice even after I dont have this class anymore.
