reflection on the semester, spring 2010.

well, as i said in our last class, it has been a long semester. without a doubt, i learned more, far more, this semester in film than i have learned in any semester to this point. advanced videography essentially covers everything that needs to be covered to have a basic understanding of what you are doing with a camera. i do not feel nearly as lost now in film, instead i feel more confident, comfortable, and at ease with my work and working with others. i feel like i have a good understanding of ideas and uses, and as well as problem solving on a set. we covered so much material from camera, lighting, framing, tools, green screens. essentially everything but audio and FCP.

along with tcf 344, i was able to participate in the Cherones class. the combination of these two classes at the same time left me strapped for time and rest but full of new information. i was able to take concepts and things i had learned in videography to that point and apply them in the cherones class, which was a great help on set and preparation. and after the cherones class i was able to take things i learned in the cherones class and apply them in videography, which i was able to do with directing my scene. this has been a busy but rewarding semester, and will prove to have been one of the more pivotal semesters in my college career when it is all done.
