Final Cut

Reflection
Looking at this class, it seems crazy to me that this semester is already
over. My first semester in college is over, and honestly I already wish I would
have done some things differently. Looking at the project, I wish the
class wasn't o centered on a group project for a final grade, as group projects
don't show someone's learning or even overall effort. My project about the ice
hockey team was quite enjoyable, however. It was very hard to get interviews with
people and get them to draw out there answers; most if the time they would give
a few word answers and that's really hard to work with when trying to construct
a documentary about it. Getting over the troubles of that, I can say I am very
proud of my rivalry section of the documentary, highlighting all the
intensities of the Louisville game. If I could change one thing about the
documentary, I would change to interview someone else other than Corey the
senior; he doesn't help with any of the structure, and I had to struggle to fit
him in in most places. I was responsible for a lot in the project, taking over
as the coordinator and doing a lot of editing, putting the video together and
setting up all the times to work. I don't think I could have done too much more
without making it a solo project. I contributed a fair amount of work for
sure.
Looking at the class holistically there is a brighter light shining for me. I enjoyed this class very much; using the blog posts is way better than having to write 4 essays, as we got to explore interesting subject matter that is real-world, and not curriculum based only. I do think I have a different thinking now, and I do think that I can analyze things with more detail now. The class speaking was nerve wrecking, but I appreciate that you keep the videos so I can see how silly I look up on stage, I kept that image in my head for the next time I performed. I think it helped, as I don't think I was talking as fast as I did the first time.
The teaching style you employed was effective, I think more lectures (something to make us take notes on) would make it a little better. Sometimes when you were up in the front of the class talking about one of the videos we were supposed to watch, I felt a little disinterested if the subject wasn't interesting itself, so my mind wandered. A lengthier or more descriptive lecture or rubrics for projects is my only suggestion.
All in all, I loved this class, I made actual friends that I hope to keep all of college and I learned some things that will help me going forward, in the real world.
