# 4. Early in the year, I leanred the importance of working with others, reaching out to my fellow team mates, and paying attention in class. You can see that in my first film, My Introduction, I made me film way to fast and when I'm speaking I get a little cut off at the end. My in and out points weren't set up and great as they could have been. As I see that now it make me realize how much I have learned from being in this class and how that big issue of setting in and out points then is very easy and something I over look now because its something I use all the time. On my second project, I learned how to combine different videos together, using and setting in and out points, and also using a title page. Now in this video, my title page is much longer to the point where I can actually read it and my in and out points are set better. All the videos are better than my very first video but it still looks like I still need a little more practice with the new material I learned then. The video where it shows this very well is the "Baler Interviews" video. Later in the year, I showed that I really had learned that concept well, since I showed this in other projects. One good example is from the "Over The Shoulder" Activity when I partnered up with Liz. I helped alot with putting our clips together and and setting in those in and out points. As you can see, they're much better now and they go smoothly with eachother. It's almost as if the clips are just one video. Having learned so much from this year has really made me prepared for any future projects I'll have in college. I'm pretty sure I'll later on have a project involving a video. I'm just really happy that I'll already know most of the material that I learned in this class.
#5. One of the things I learned from making videos is really using my time wisely. Even though my project wouldn't be due for 2 weeks, it flies by very quickly. If I would just set my project aside, I would forget about it and then later I would deal with th consquences of not having it doneon time. That was one of the major things I learned. I know this will help me expecially in college because I learn how to use my time wisely now I'll be okay in college. Another thing I learned was helping and taking charge when no one else wants to. There have been many situations where If I never did anything, no one would do anything. I wont say what group it was but I had this experience many times. Other than that, I learned being helpful and not letting just one person in my group do all the work really paid off. I set the example for my other team members and they would follow. Being helpful really helped my team members alot especially when they couldn't do it. One example I have from watching videos is knowing how to evaluate the right way. I've seen how when groups come up to the front and present, we (the whole class) give suggestions and things to do better for next time. I really like this way of giving people advice because your not showing the negatives from their project. Your telling them new ideas and really complimenting them on the things they did very well. This has helped me not be so judgemental in looking at the bad things. It has made me look and admire the good things as well.
#6. My experience in this class has been a really good one. I've learned many basic skills that I know will help me through my next step in life. Learning how to be a hardworker, a helping hand, a unqiue and creative person and respectful towards others has really paid off and made me a better person. I see myself working better with other people, sharing ideas and also recieving feedback alot better then I used to. I'm really happy that I got to experience this with all the wonderful people this year and made really good friends that will share this memory as well.
