Final

What did I lean from Theater 3800:

I learned that it was not what I was expecting. It was overwhelming and something I had never done before. After looking back on the semester I am glad I took the course. It taught be to valuable skills that I will take into the professional career after graduation.

I don't plan on going to film school or becoming an indy film marker but I will take what I learned from my producer experience with me.

I learned that organization and constantly communication is key. I learned that being flexible and never becoming fully attached to details is important to remember. Communication is the biggest thing I will take from this course. Even though I am a communication major I can read books all day about how to communicate with people, techniques and theories alike.

Collaborate on ideas was another aspect I learned to work on this semester. When I began this class I had no idea about anything film related. I just watched movies instead of appreciating them. I never watched the credits unless their was a really epic song that I had to stalk the credit to find it. Other than that I never would give the credits their respect and watch all the film makers work attributed.


I also learned that making films is a learning experiences and it has to be learned hands on. At first I didn't understand why we were going on location to help with films, volunteering to work on other films and messing with extremely bright and expensive equipment. However now I understand. You have to be hand on when film making. I learned so much off my first movie about lighting and shadows. I valued the extra shots we took that allowed for a smooth editing and post production. It is always better to have addition options with different angles. No matter how daunting the process is to film the same scene 40 times. The end result is what matters.


I could not be more thankful for this experience in video production. I did something I never thought I would and possibly might have found an addition direction to take my career. I love producing. The power and achievement felt after taking complete kiosk and transforming it into a finished project for others to enjoy. I love being organized and schedule. Having a career where that is possible would be a dream.

Thank you for the wonderful experience. I could not have chosen a better class to take my final semester.
