Reflections on the Class

Throughout the course of the semester there were many parts of the class that I enjoyed thoroughly that I felt could have been tweaked slightly.For instance, it was great to be given a camera to go shoot a short film with with a limited amount of time to do so. It was a challenge to have to think of an idea for a short film and then go shoot the shots needed for it in the limited time we had, but i felt it was a worthwhile one. however. I felt this exercise could have been improved greatly if part of it was to edit the film. As it was we were only meant to shoot as if there was to be no editing process at all, a process which anything that is shot professionally goes through. It also would have allowed for a rudimentary lesson plan on film editing.
Another change I would make concerns the very medium I am using now, the blog. I felt the assignments for the blog were fine for short papers but I felt the blog could be better utilized as a more unique, artistically driven space which pertained to assignments which would have the student involved with more creative endeavors.
Of the many things I will take away from this course my introduction to html will probably be the most important and the one I value most as I venture out into a world of new media.
