BLOG QUESTION BEG/ADV: REVISITING YEAR GOALS

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 back then were to submit films to festivals and experiment with editing and lighting. While I was able to work on these a bit, I wouldn't say I completely finished these goals. I did work on two productions that were submitted to several film festivals, but I haven't submitted my work into any yet. I plan on submitting The Ghost Writer to a couple festivals this summer, so hopefully I can complete them. I did get certified in a lot of the lights here in class, and I learned a lot of techniques, so I believe I completed that goal. Lastly, I've been expanding on my editing skills quite a bit and taking on extra projects that are longer and more complex. While I haven't had the opportunity to experiment on AE as much as I'd like, I definitely have become more proficient in Premiere and learning how to edit sound, which is a pretty good accomplishment for myself.
