Taylor - Final Blog Post

This experience has had it's ups and downs mainly because it was a lot to take in being my first video class I've taken at CSUSM toward the Arts & Tech. major. But I found it to be a good experience because I learned so much that I did not know before this semester started. I learned how to edit, use basic film techniques, lighting, and most importantly....working in groups. Which was difficult because we had different roles and sometimes ones we weren't used to. In the end we all worked well together and I learned a lot from the others and thank them for making this experience one not to forget.

Working with the SDCOE and focussing on homeless youth has been a great opportunity to learn more about my community and what we can do to make it a better place; whether it's producing a video, researching the topic of unaccompanied youth, and putting together an edit that will be used for the awareness of that issue. The stories we heard and interviews we dealt with made me realize how important it is to have a helping hand when we most need it, and in this case it was SDCOE helping out the homeless youth around San Diego.

This class has motivated me to declare the major of Arts & Tech. and learn video production. It has increased my little knowledge of basic video techniques and group work. I will take everything I learned in this class and further teach myself and be taught anything and everything I need in order to become successful in this field. I would like to thank Professor Diekman, my group members, the class, and everyone involved in the video we made for the class.

Thanks again.
