Midterm Reflection…


            Last week we submitted our midterm videos and I worked really hard on it. I followed the requirements and guideline for the project. My video was over five minutes long and I interviewed the required amount of people. Also so the video was not boring I added music to the interview to keep people’s attention and not make it seem like the video was dragging on. I also asked different question to different age groups to get their perspectives on topics. My interviews involved a freshman, sophomore and someone that’s staff. This technique was good to show the aspects of how people feel being a student athlete.

                For all this work that I did for this midterm video I don’t expect anything less than an A. some may think that I am aiming really high but, I feel I worked really hard on these video. Also I used my peer’s feedback to adjust my video. Even up to the point of making words stay on the screen two seconds longer so that it is easier for people to read it. I also think that this was good because, I may think that it is easy to read something but, others may find it more challenging. Also I didn’t think about people that are slow readers.
                Also the technology I used was windows movie maker and I found it quite easy to use. I had a little bit of experience with this software because, I made highlight tapes for me and my football teammates. With this video I was able to learn a few more tip and tricks to use and add to my video. Such as screen effects plus starting and stopping music from playing when people talk. I felt that I made this video look very professional and I was very happy with the outcome of my hard work. I’m not going to lie I finished my video the day before Thursday before submitting it. The only reason I took so long was that it was hard to meet with people for interviews. Overall though I feel that if I would have took more time I could have made the video better but, I was very satisfied of my final product that I submitted.
