Blog #4: The End

My perception of what I thought the class would be like is completely different to what I now think of it. I thought there would be more print media, and I didn’t realized how much it would go into film. When I watch a film now, I understand the choices made more, and it adds to the information you can absorb from a film. I enjoyed the class a lot as well as learned a lot more from the class then I expected. I loved that there was a lab, and not just a lecture. Hands-on learning is always a great way to make what you learn stick with you. Kathy made the class very interesting by including her experience in the field, which was showing a section of her documentaries. It would have been a bit better if we could have gone deeper into print media just because I have a lot of experience in it, but it is an introduction to all media.
The PowerPoint’s were very useful, although, if they were posted online before class, the professors would be able to get through more information because we wouldn’t be worried about writing everything down, we would have it in advance. Also, what I’ve noticed while studing the PowerPoint’s, some of the slides just had images and no description. I understand that in class we go over what the importance of the images are, but it would be more useful to have it in the presentation as well.
