The first day of media productions, I never knew what to expect. I never thought I would do the announcements for my school. I never thought I would edit videos or interview other students and staff. Although the announcements were a little rough, I had fun all semester.
There are many things in media productions that I learned. One of them happened to be how to edit films in videopad. In Videopad we made the announcements, first day video for upcoming students, and a Freshman FAQ video. Inside of videopad while making videos you can cut out mistakes, add transitions and effects to make the video much more exciting. Knowing how to edit videos is important to know at a young age because you never know what your career is going to be in the future.
The second thing I learned is to work on a schedule. During the class we had assignments that had a certain due date. If you missed the due date, everyone else would be behind just because you missed one due date. Working on a schedule is very important because at work you have to work on a schedule every day or you will be fired. Also, working on a schedule creates good time management as well!
The third and final thing I learned is how to interview people. In the beginning of the semester I wanted to interview people but when it came time I was nervous and didn’t know what to ask the student. As time went on I got better and that’s a good thing because knowing how to interview people is a very important skill because many jobs these days require you to interview people and write and them.
In conclusion, throughout the semester I had fun in Media Productions, making the announcements, interviewing people, and learning how to use new and different computer programs.
