What a rollercoaster of semester this class has been, and I loved every second of it! Everything I've learned, everything I've done, means a lot to me and I don't ever want to forget any of it. Though my heart still stays with cinematography, I have a greater respect and understanding of what newscasters do everyday to make their projects look flawless. Below are a few images that I just love from my projects. The first two are from the first project I did this semester, Don't You Know iAm Cyon. The title screen and a picture from some years back when I took one of my sisters to college. The next image is from my six-word story; three sisters, one pill, two sisters. The project shaped me in a way I didn't think it would. I constructed my story like a mini film, and I'd never attempted to tackle such a personal topic before. The last image is a depth shot from my FYI News Package. I learned so many important things from the project, and you can see what I learned in my previous post. But, all in all, I completely adore this class and would/will take this class, if my schedule permits. In August, I would've probably had a hundred complaints about Broadcast Tech., but I truly love it so much and hope I can take it again before graduation! Thank you so much, Mr. Goble and Ms. Davidson for an amazing year! And thanks also to my friend, Sarah (her website), for helping me film most all of my shots and making jokes together while we worked. I'm gonna miss Broadcast Tech. so much next semester!

I've reached the end of this road... that's a bit of an exaggeration- I have this class for another two hours. However, it definitely feels like the end. In the past five weeks, I've been working on my final project in Broadcast Tech, doing interviews, capturing B-Roll, and editing. The project is to construct a 1-2 minute news package about a topic of interest. I chose the Ferguson Youth Initiative and am extremely proud of what I've done. I send an immense amount of gratitude to Mr. Goble and Ms. Davidson for helping understand what it took to truly be a broadcaster. Among other notes, I learned a thing or two about working on this project that couldn't be taught in a classroom. For example, I learned the importance of thinking on the fly, because you won't get anywhere otherwise. In the span of ten minutes, I had to change my concept, shot, and perception fifteen times. Yes, fifteen times. Because not everyone can operate on the plan that I have in my mind. And, also very important, I learned that I should keep my cool while working, and then go home and complain to my family. Trying to construct my vision with other people rarely works, and I just had to hold my tongue and then gripe to my parents and sisters at the house, giving them a laugh. All negatives aside, I loved this project and wouldn't change anything that I've done. To watch the final product, click here
