Final+Assessment+Course+Reflectionfor+5363+Multimedia+and+Video+Technology

This Multimedia and Video Technology course was a great learning experience. I learned a lot about video editing than I knew before. I expected to learn about video editing, planning, designing and evaluating and I did learn all of those elements of video technology. I can definitely use the information that I retained and obtained through this course to teach my classroom students as well as my colleagues about video and multimedia technology. I achieved everything I needed to achieve for this course, but I am sure there is a lot of information that I still need to know to be successful in utilizing video editing software programs. This course has made me start researching video software programs and looking at the differences and similarities. I also learned a lot from other students in this course as well. I was able to learn and understand the content of the course and I was able to submit my assignments on time, sometimes a day or two before the due date because I was so interested in the assignments. I am hoping that my students and the teachers at my school will be just as interested in learning about video and multimedia technology as I was taking this course. There was a significant quote that I remember, “Never, ever, shoot long, drawn out video clips of more than two minutes. It bores the audience to death”. This is definitely true. I know this through experience as well as learning from this course. Overall, I learned a lot about editing, planning, creating, producing and evaluating videos. I enjoyed producing the digital story, but I need to work on the audio and narration next time I produce another digital story. I think I am capable of creating a better one next time. I hope to take what I learned and use it in my classroom as well as teach my colleagues about video and multimedia technology. Desktop-Video-Guide.com: Guidelines for Shooting Quality Videos.
