BLOG QUESTION BEG/ADV: FALL SEMESTER SUMMARY

As our semester draws to a close, take some time to reflect on what you've learned. Write down three things that you've learned and how they will improve your video projects in the future. For those who are continuing into next semester, also list three things that you are looking forward to learning in the Spring. Why do you want to learn these things? What do you want to concentrate on doing better? What could you improve? What kind of projects are you looking forward to?

I've learned a lot about visual storytelling and how elements such as movement, composition, color, depth of field, and lighting affect the mood of a story and drive the plot forward. I am, looking forward to learning more about lighting next semester, since I only know the basic 3 point lighting technique. I'm excited to work on the noir, since it relies heavily on lighting. I want to concentrate on improving my technical skills since we've fallen behind this semester on a lot of lighting equipment and the director monitors.
