This semester I grew in many different ways, one way is in my editing for video. I implemented many things that I've seen others do in videos like adding pictures, old video snippets, and giving a tone for the story. I also learned how to use many different styles of editing a video and ways to make it look more visually appealing. I spent a significant amount of time editing the light and making it all look the same.
In this story I made about jessie I went through hundreds even possibly thousands of pictures to find the select few that fit the story well. Many of these pictures came at times when she was talking about her and her sister, along with her early life growing up.
Also while filming this video in the different locations I would think of many different shots that would work well in a certain situation. I thought about what shots I already had and how then could compliment each other. The best way to summarize this would be the Six Shot System that I learned in the first week.
The jessie story was the climax of my video making this semester, I had many other video news packages, one of them was my first major video that went on our ONW NOW show on Sept. 17. This story took me awhile to come up with an idea for the main conflict but in knew that it should be about the senior on the team.

Secondly I thought that my written stories have improved since last year. last year I covered the wrestling program here at ONW and wrote many stories about it along with one video. I only wrote a few stories on the gymnastics program but I thought I did an adequate job.
On my blog I've written a few stories but I never got around to posting them on the website. One of these stories in my post "Pre-State 2014". this story was mainly a recap of the season as awhile and what the team is looking forward to and how they may preform.

During the semester I was assigned to cover the gymnastics sport for my SID class, while it washing as exiting as football may be I still learned a lot through the experience.
Onward and Upward:
1. My first goal for the next semester is to have a recap video with a written story with it at least every other week, I would prefer ever week.
2. My second goal is to make at least 2 quality stories and post multiple written stories to the ONW wed site.
