What I've learned from 201

Coming into this class I won't lie, I didn't know that much about production or editing. I had never worked with Premiere so tackling that was a monster in of itself but I have learned so much abut the editing process that I have to admit makes this class well worth the anxiety that it's caused. While in this class and working on the productions that we have had to do, I have learned a lot about the workings of the camera and the technical things that you can only learn with hands on experience, such as adjusting gain, exposure, focal length and all of that good stuff. I have also met some really great people and forged some really good friendships which I will definitely cary on from this class. I have also worked with people that I can't wait to work with outside of the class room as well. since we made different types of films, it let me see and explore somethings that I might have dove into otherwise such as the experimental project. This class has definitely perked my interest in narratives but I think that the major thing that I took away from this class is the fact that I for sure know that I want to do documentaries as my major field of expertise. This class was really stressful at times but I had a lot of fun in it for the most part and learned a lot about myself and filmmaking as well.
