I had no idea we would be actually filming, editing, and producing video packages and intros and that they might even have the chance to be on K-ahs. I loved being able to experiment with the equipment in my own way. Intro to Media is a very flexible and fun class. The students are trusted with the equipment and in return are expected to create high quality productions. I imagine this is what its like in the “real world” where people go out on assignments and are expected to get the story, this is exactly what is happening at Austin High in the Intro to Media class.
Overall my year in intro to media has been a success. I had a great class where I made many new friends, learned how to produce and film videos, learned a lot about video programs on the computer, and many other useful things. One of my favorite experiences this year was when we were assigned a group and told to create an intro and that the best intro would air on K-ahs. This project allowed a lot of creativity. We could make an intro about anything as long as it linked back to K-ahs. Although my group’s intro didn’t make K-ahs we still had a lot of fun thinking of an idea, shooting it, and editing it to our liking. Having the freedom of choosing to make an intro about anything we wanted was a really cool experience.
