Throughout this course I’ve done many different projects dealing with different aspects of design and media. In my opinion my favorite project during the semester has to be the Premiere or video project because it challenged me the most out of the other projects. With so little time to do film and edit, procrastinating wasn’t an option. In the end, I loved how the final draft looked like.
I plan to see myself have a advertising career in the future because I love making videos or just creating anything visual for people to see. All the projects has been influential in picking my path because it goes into all aspects of design and media. In my case, I want to do all of that and not just one certain thing. I started off enjoying the graphic side, but taking this course it sparked a passion in video making too.
I’ve done design and media for a few years now, but the course has taught be how to import footage, pictures, and music properly. I use to drag and drop the files into the program, but the course has taught me to do the right way. The course has also taught me simple command shortcuts to make editing a bit more efficient. For example, copying and pasting the same effects on After Effects.
The most useful I found useful that were outside the class material was any royalty free image and music website because they have a variety of content people can use. For example, Bensound is a royalty free to use music website and all you have to do is credit the website and song on your project.
In my opinion, this course was really helpful in helping me further my knowledge in design and media. The course provides helpful resources that I used to further my understanding. All around, I’m glad I took this course.
