4th Quarter Reflection

4th Quarter Reflection   


   The 4th quarter project was to create a product never seen before and advertise it to a group of "sharks," or judges. This project lasted us the entire fourth quarter. Usually I don't enjoy working in groups, for I get stuck with people who refuse to take direction and do their work, but this time I actually quite enjoyed it. My group knew how to balance fun and hard work. But as time went on the fun aspect overshadowed work and it was difficult to get them back on track. Along the way I learned how to take lead and command a group. After our presentation we were advised to add more personality to our presentation. Originally I was going to spend extra time to add color but Ethan took matters into his own hands. Personally, I know we could have done better but I'm still very proud of our work.

     I spent most of my time wisely during class. I completed the commercial, the animation, and the script during our short time in school. Once finished I went back to see if there was anything else I could add. After completing the commercial I went back to add sound effects, and I'm glad that I did. And outside of class I did my best to keep up with communications between the team.

     A year or E-Communications has taught me plenty, but I feel that I most excelled in cinematography. During this project I learned an abundance of tricks to help me in the future when working with programs similar to the ones provided. I do feel as though I could improve on web design. In this project I avoided it as much as possible because I'm aware it isn't my strongest skill.

     The thing I loved most about this quarter was surprisingly the frustration that came with working alongside a group of other people. And if we had more time I wish we could have worked on the website more and made sure we included everything. Next year I hope to continue on my journey and expand my knowledge on video and animation.
