Since I have embraced on this college journey a couple of months, I have been surprised with the work load and type of work that is assigned sometimes. Initially, when we were assigned to a video project I was in shock because I have never been asked to produce anything like that in my 13 year academic career thus far. It was something that I would eventually take on and attempt however. For my first advertising video I think I did fairly well.
My teacher all assigned us different tasks that our videos had to be about. I don't think anybody had the same topic. For my video I was asked to create a video describes and shows how the SCSU football team makes Southern a better place. Since it was my first video ever, I didn't meet all the requirements, however you were definitely able to see my effort in the video. I did not include a title, but as for interviewing people, I had interviewed one of my teammates and had other people in my video to give a feel of what it is really like at Southern. I even let the camera behind the scenes into our team locker room.
Unfortunately, because I procrastinated so much I had to use my phone and link the videos together on my former YouTube recruiting account. If I had more time I would of asked my mother to bring her camcorder out here that she used to use to record my high school football games. Despite the lack of technology I was working with, I think you were able to hear my voice clearly throughout the video. I definitely think I had kept interest of the audience because I presented with my own style and tried to keep it as informative as I can with giving it a casual feel. Although my video had the minimum of 5 minutes I think I was able to show how the SCSU football team adds to the school spirit and gives Southern more to cheer about.
If I was grading my video, I would take into account that many college students who are making the transition to college were never assigned a video as a midterm assignment. Although I did not meet all requirements I put some solid hard work into getting at least a B-. There were definitely some more details I could of included in the video and not having the title page probably will hurt me somewhat therefore my expectations aren't unrealistically high. Next time I won't wait until the final days to do something I have never done before and I will get a higher grade.
