My favorite project was our final premiere project. The reasoning behind that is because I think I learned the most through doing this project. I realized what is a quality film instead of just posting a video. I started off by doing my big and little reveal videos all edited together, with photos of my family in Alpha Chi Omega included. After turning in my draft though, I came to the realization that those videos were not high enough quality to be able to be put on YouTube without being fuzzy. Then, I decided to redo it by taking time lapses of myself writing out an explanation of why I am grateful that I have gotten to be a part of Alpha Chi Omega and putting voice memos behind it saying the words out loud and putting a song in the back. I feel like I learned a lot not only about video editing by doing this, but also life lessons. What matters is that you try your hardest and give a quality product. Even though it took a lot of extra work doing a whole new video and writing a whole new essay portion, I wanted to turn in my best work possible. I also learned a lot of skills while using adobe premiere, I feel like video editing skills will help me out a lot in other aspects of life as well. I am not exactly sure what I want to do with my future. I think I want to be a teacher, and if I am I think my video editing skills will definitely help me if I want to do cool video presentations for my class. I feel like there aren’t any other skills I could have learned, all the tutorials and each unit I truly felt taught me everything I needed to know about multimedia creation. I found the reading resources that were put on the com 210 WordPress page very helpful. Anytime I had issues with anything, I would just look at the course readings and the videos and my questions were answered. I also found the quizzes helpful because it made me take notes on the assigned readings then made me realize what I knew or didn’t know after getting the quiz results back. I really do feel like I learned so much about time management and work ethic through taking this course and I am extremely grateful for that. Thank you COM 210 for an awesome semester.

Hi there! My name is Stephanie Hilliard, but I go by Steph. I am a second year college student at Washington State University and I am majoring in Communications. I am a part of a sorority here on campus, Alpha Chi Omega. When I am not doing my schoolwork, doing things for the house is what typically takes up the rest of my time. The reason why I am starting this blog is to post the media content I am going to be creating for a course I am taking this semester, COM 210. I am excited to be taking this class and be recording it all in a blog, so then in the end I can look back and see all of the hard work I have put into this course throughout the semester. A little bit more about myself, some hobbies and interests I have revolve around health and wellness, as well as music. I love exercising, yoga, and eating right. I try to exercise every day because it always makes me feel good after. I am taking yoga this semester, which I am excited about because normally when I am up at school I do not have much time to do it, but now I will get the chance to twice a week! I also always try to eat healthy because when I am healthy I am happy ☺. The kind of music that I love is EDM (electric dance music). I love going to festivals with my friends, those are my favorite kinds of weekends. So there is a little bit about me, stay tuned for more! View more posts
