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
