Look back at your goals for the Fall and Spring Semester blog posts. Were you able to achieve your goals? Why or why not? What could you have done differently? Looking back at them, what could you have done to focus more on your goals in the course?
My goals from the beginning of the year were:
1. Learn how to set up a tripod and camera quickly and efficiently
Accomplished.
2. Learn how to write effective dialog that makes sense and is placed well (actually relevant and necessary)
Not accomplished.
3. Write stories that are meaningful and more complex
Not accomplished.
This class teaches a lot of technical skills, which I really loved, but I wish we focused a bit more on the storytelling aspect. How can we tell a good story and make good films if we didn't learn about effective storytelling, and how to tell a good story? I do appreciate the technical skills though, as that's what people hire on. I just think some lessons on proper story would be great, though I know the advanced kids go into that in the fall.
