I really enjoyed taking Broadcast Technology. I don't have a favorite project but if I had to choose it would be the iAM Movie. I liked the iAM because, that's the project I am most proud of. When the video was shown, everybody said that they liked how I made the video. Another thing I've enjoyed doing in this class was being in the TV studio. After being in the TV studio I've become less afraid of being in front of a camera. I'm interested in taking Broadcast Technology 2 because, I like playing with technology and I had a lot of fun being in this class.

For this project My partner and I had to interview someone in our school. We were originally going to interview a teacher but that didn't work. So we decided to interview a fellow student but, that didn't work either. At the last minute I offered to do the interview. In the interview we talked about me as a cross country runner and how long I've been running. What I've learned during this project is that you can get a lot of information out of someone by asking one simple question. I've also learned, when interviewing someone you want to make the person you're interviewing feel comfortable because, that person would eventually open up to you especially when you talking about something serious or personal.
My six word story was about having a big appetite. I chose this story because, the original story I had was very time consuming. It was also snowing at the time and I didn't want to get the equipment wet. I also asked my friends to help me with this video but, they weren't reliable. For the video I used an Establishing shot, Medium shot, Planar Staging shot, Close up, Bird's-eye view, and another Establishing shot but at a different angle. I used these shots because, I made this video at home. I didn't have a lot of space. The one thing I didn't like about this project was that I just didn't have a lot of time. Otherwise I think this is another project that went smoothly.
The other day in class we did research on six word stories. I've learned that six word stories tells you exactly what the story is with only six words. We also did research on Ernest Hemingway. I've learned that Ernest was a journalist and American Novelist. From what I Have researched Ernest made the six word story about the baby shoes because, he made a bet with fellow writers that he could make a story with only six words. Ernest and his fellow writers all bet ten dollars and Ernest ended up winning the bet. There is no actual evidence that this ever took place or that he used that six word story. Here is a link that I found useful for my research.

When we started using the cameras we've learned that there are three types of shots. We learned that there is wide, medium, and tight shots. We practiced shooting these types shots in the school's multi-purpose room. When we got our shots we had to learn how to use final cut pro so we could make our video with the shots. We made a video just to play around with because we were learning how to use the program. We named the video circus wagon. After we learned how to use final cut pro, we put those shots together and made a video. I had a great time working with Orion for this project.
This week I got to do every job there was in the studio production. The jobs new jobs I had this week was being the director, floor director, talent, and being on sound board. My favorite job was being the director because, I was in control of everything. My least favorite job was being a talent because, I don't like being in front of the camera. I really did like all my jobs for the most part. What I learned during this production was that you have to be on both sides of the camera to understand that every job is important.
Last week we did our very first studio production. My first two jobs were Computer graphics and to make sure everything was being recorded. I loved being on computer graphics because I got to control what the people saw. It was a struggle to understand all the buttons I had to use. It was also hard to pay attention to what everybody else is doing. I did make a lot of mistakes for the first time we did a production. I had a great time doing this.
Making a iAm movie trailer about myself was a real challenge for me. It was hard for me because, it was difficult to find pictures of me and family and friends. I wasn't a technology person growing up. I was introduced to a lot of new things when I joined Broadcast technology. I learned how to upload pictures from my phone to google drive. I was taught how to make this website because I had to upload my iAm movie on here. What I enjoyed the most about this experience was making the website because, I can show who I am in a way. Overall, I thought my experience was great.
