I have learned many things about technology in this class. One thing I learned was how to use the green screen. I learned how to do this during a project we did called chromakey using a video tutorial on the internet. Wale watching the video I was able to follow along and replace the green screen background. This skill is important because if you are going into convergence you need to know how to replace the green screen background during post production. some challenges i faced along the way were the fact that we were about to start a new project soon a a result I did not have much time in class and had to come in after school to finish it. Another challenge i faced was the fact that the video was using an older version of what I was using but after asking a few questions i was able to work around it.my final result is shown bellow.
Some of my strengths are the fact that I am very determined to complete my work and keep my grades up, and the fact that I'm not afraid to as questions when I need help. One of my weaknesses is the fact that I can become confused if I cant find something in the program I'm using of i can't figure out how to fix something if the program doesn't work right or if I make a mistake. I have improved this is by re reading the part of the directions I'm on or if I make a mistake i will use trial and err to correct my mistake. I will take what I have learned with me to convergence class when I am editing I will know how to use the green screen for example.
I have also learned a few things about collaboration from this class. one example is the final V.F.X. project we just completed. This particular project was actually a group project. through this project I was able to improve my collaboration skills through planing with my group members during class as well as outside of school. this is important because in school as well as in the real world you need to know how to collaborate with groups of people. Also, during this project i was able to improve my communication skills. i was able to do this by communicating with my group during class as we worked to finish the project. this is important because weather you are working on part of your final for school or working on a project for your career you need to know how to communicate with others. I will talk what I have learned with me into convergence class by knowing how to communicate well with other members of my group.
I have also been able to improve my project management skills thought the year, one example would be my street explosion project. Due to the fact that I was gone one day I had to work hard during and after school to get this project done. in this way I was able to improve my project management skills by working extra hard and coming in after school to complete the project. I will use this next year to plan out my timeline for getting projects dome on time. My final result is shown below
I have also been able to improve my leadership skills using our final V.F.X. project by leading my part of the project and working with other members of my group to help them get their parts done on time and helping them out when the they needed it.
Over all I have leaned a lot from this class that I will take with me next year.
