Final Selfie

Script:

Hey guys! I first wanted to start by saying thank you to everyone who made this class such an interesting experience. I enjoyed watching the videos that were created throughout the semester, and I do wish we could have done a few more. Throughout the course, I have learned to have patience when it comes to creating digital stories. There is a lot more that goes on behind the scenes than I originally thought. You have to make sure your background looks nice, your photos/videos are clear, and your voice is understandable. You also need to make sure your lighting looks okay. One of the main challenges I faced was coming up with ideas for the course. At the beginning, I wrote down a list of ideas I wanted to make videos on, and I had to go through those and figure out which ones I could get a better video out of. Looking back at my older videos, I see a bit of a difference from the start. If I were to continue making videos, I would still need work on some things though, like script writing – as I tend to ramble. If I had to pick what my favorite video I made was, I would say it was the Memories one. I enjoyed picking out all the old pictures for that video, and reliving those memories. As for the course learning goals, I feel I have completed most of them, except coming up with cohesive scripts – like I mentioned a bit earlier. I feel I have improved from my module 2 self-assessment with my blog and with relating the readings to the discussion posts. I also have a better understanding of ethical issues with creating stories, you have to make sure to give credit where it is due if the material is not yours. Lastly, I just want to say that I hope you all had as great as a semester as I did, and wish you all luck with your future endeavors!
