This past semester has been filled with great memories and good friends. My strengths this past semester have probably been how well I communicate with others and how I have improved my video editing skills. Over this semester I have been quick witted and a strong defender of the e-communications room. Another one of my strengths is also running switcher at our live productions.
My weaknesses this past year have dwindled as the year went on because I have learned from them, however, I do still have weaknesses (surprisingly). Some of my weaknesses include not doing my blogs, being distracted with others, and poor voice overs.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, but its who is willing to improve on them that shows a sign of motivation and the constant willingness to improve. This next semester I will look to constantly improve my video editing, working on my blogs, and project management. I am looking forward to covering a lot of golf next spring and collaborating more with my peers. I don t know how we are supposed to make this blog a whole page so I am going to end it here.

The Kansas Jayhawks played the Arizona State Sun devils on Sunday afternoon. The Announcers were not very good but they were somewhat prepared. The commentators loved to point out that the Jayhawks were not shooting very well.
The commentators could improve greatly on their performance and need to sharpen their skills elsewhere. They chose to dog on the Kansas team all night which affected the fans morale and did not help the team. This is a future national championship team and they should speak more highly of them.
I will now learn not to be as idiotic as the color commentators were Sunday afternoon. Also I will study more on basketball so I can be more informed whenever I will have to commentate a basketball game.

Why Best Friends Are Good For Your Health
Having friends that are important to you can make you feel loved, get rid of loneliness, and feel wanted. If we lived every day all alone with no one to tell secrets to, hangout with, and be there for then we would die of sadness. I am very thankful for my best friends, especially in ecomm.

In the Kansas/Syracuse game the Jayhawks stomped their opponent. The commentators were decent with their wording and sounded somewhat well equipped.
The Commentators could have read more about Syracuse a little more as it seemed to me that they only knew about the Kansas Jayhawks, granted, they are the number two team in the nation, so thats understandable.
I will now learn to be more well equipped when broadcasting basketball games and I will communicate better with others.

I thought the reporter did well in this story and provided all the necessary information needed to inform the reader and make it a good story. The reporter really knew what she was talking about and did a great job.
I thought the reporter could have elaborated a little more on who did this and why. The reporter also could have spoken better and been more clear in what she was saying, I felt like she didnt really know what she was talking about and she was just put on the spot.
I will know learn from her and know to be more informed on a topic before I go up and report about it. I will also elaborate more on topics and really get into what im talking about. The reporter was still a professional and I still have a long ways before I can compete on her level.

This was a story over the Las vegas shooting. Over the weekend a sniper picked off multiple people in a random crowd and killed 50 people, injuring over 200. The police had to kill the shooter while taking him down. This is very unfortunate.
I thought the news article was very well set up and gave us the most information as possible. There wasnt much that they could do with this because it is pretty plain and simple of what happened.
I thought they could have added in a few more things and really put it together better. They also didnt seem very compassionate in the article and i think that would appeal more for this type of story.

I really like how the reporter interacted with the environment and the people around him, as well as using key points from other things that are happening in the world. He was well dressed and stood up tall during the interview process as well and spoke very well.
I thought the interviewer could have been more clear in what he was saying. Also, he did not really include some other things in the story that could have been key to improve the story.
For now on, when I report, I will now talk more clear and stand up taller. Also, I will take the story more seriously and focus more on the topic.

End of the year reflection.
Valuable take aways
Technology:
Throughout the year I have taken away many important values from this class, the most important thing I have taken away from this class in the technology aspect would have to be learning how to run the tri caster. I learned how to run the ti caster by live broad casting the football games. By learning how to run this I can now broadcast ONW on the tricaster and do most sporting events.
Collaboration:
Learning to work as a team could arguably be the most effective way to work. Throughout the year I have developed friendships that I would not have had formed outside of e-comm, Granted, There has been a fair share of rough patches along the way but now that we have learned to work together I believe our team can be stronger and more effective.
Communication:
Communication strongly corresponds with collaboration as if you are working with a group your group needs to have communication and tell each other who is filming/editing, when the story needs to be done, and if you told the teacher who you are working with on the story. I have never really struggled with communication but I do believe it is a very important aspect of the class.
Project Management:
I believe that my project management skills have developed immensely throughout the year and will deeply be beneficial to me in the future. Sometimes it can be difficult if you have to go out and film a story on a Monday when you record ONW on a Tuesday so then you will have to rush back to e-comm to edit the film. This is very important as you NEED to complete stories on time to get them posted onto the website quickly and to put them on ONW now.
Leadership:
I would like to think that I am a pretty good leader, However, I have never had the opportunities. Being a producer is one job that I would like to try out in this program. Leadership is very important in this class and is a key element when being producer, and I am willing to try and do that. Next year will be my year to learn leadership and sharpen my skills.
Strengths: My strengths in this class are mostly editing and going out to get the film but i believe that I have improved my strengths on the "switcher" so now I am pretty good at that. By editing and filming this year my skills have greatly improved and I am sure that heading into senior year that I will take these skills with me.
Weaknesses: Most of my weaknesses are incorporated within the studio, such as anchoring and running the cameras. I think I need to work on these skills but mostly focus on my strengths at this point because I will not be anchoring or working on the cameras much next year.
What I will be doing with what i learned:
next year I will be incorporating all of the skills that I have learned and using them all together not only to improve my self, but the incoming juniors as well. My skills will greatly improve next year just as they did this year so I am greatly looking forward to it.
Changes:
Next year I would like to turn my weaknesses into strengths and become more of a leader/ mentor to the incoming juniors to show them how to do some of the complicated work.
Conclusion:
This year has been great I have gained great skills throughout the year from calling sports games to editing film, this year has been great and I am looking forward to the next one.
