As I mentioned in my previous blog post the past 2 weeks we have been working on editing and putting together a video of the person we interviewed from class. The past few days I have been working on assembling the video at home. I am becoming faster each time I use the program but I am by no means fast as at all. Adobe Premiere Pro has been a hard program for me to grasp but I mostly think it is because I am in general not good at video editing to begin with. This project was one of the most time consuming ones of the semester but I really did enjoy it. Learning how to navigate Premiere Pro was a bit of a struggle but overall I feel that my video turned out good! Only one more week of classes makes me sad the school year is coming to an end but I'm excited to see what our final project will be.

This week in class we worked on editing our video clips from last week on Adobe Premiere Pro. After watching many tutorials I put my skills to the test and started editing. Watching the Lynda videos helped me be able to go navigate this adobe program much easier. It still took me a good amount of time to edit and cut some clips but the video is starting to come together nicely. I'm excited to put a story together about Bailey and how passionate she is about mission work and nonprofits. Photo from Bailey's mission trip.
This week in PR Pubs was exciting but completely foreign to me. On Tuesday, we went to the cage in Gaylord where you can rent out cameras and other equipment. The man who worked there showed our class how to work the cameras we rented out. It was a learning experience because I had never used such a nice camera before. On Thursday, we put our new camera training to the test. I was partnered with Bailey from class and we each interviewed each other. It was interesting to hear about how passionate she was about mission work. It was something that really struck home with me because mission work is also such a huge part of my life. I found out how much Bailey and I had in common with our interests and of course our majors. It was cool to learn more about a classmate I probably would've never gotten to know without this assignment. I would consider her a friend now which is awesome especially since were both pursuing the same degree. I'm excited to edit the footage we got this past week and put it all together into a video. It will be a bit bumpy, but I'm looking forward to gaining more experience in using Adobe Premiere. Now that I've used such a high tech camera I would definitely consider myself a "professional". This week in PR writing we wrote a PSA or public service announcement. I have written a PSA before for the class Writing for Mass Media, but I hadn't written one in over a year, so it was good to learn how to write it again. Writing a PSA helped me realize what words were essential to get the point across and which ones were just extra and didn't add anything. Learning this skill set helped me widen my horizons on different pieces I can write. It also helped me further my efficiency and preciseness when it comes to writing. This skill set will help me as a PR Professional to be able to write quickly and precisely under pressure with ease. I look forward to learning how to write more PR pieces in the last few weeks of the semester.
This week in PR Writing we wrote a letter to the editor and an op-ed. As the semester continued each week we learned a new writing piece/pieces that I didn't even know were apart of PR. Learning how to write these pieces has helped me pick up on how to write precisely and efficiently. Learning these skill sets will help me as a PR professional be able to write more effectively. Each week I am adding and improving writing skills for my future profession. I look forward to gaining more experience in writing different pieces in the following weeks.
This week in PR Pubs was used to further our understanding of Adobe Premiere Pro. When coming into class from last week, I had a rough foundation of how to use Adobe Premiere Pro. I had learned the basics but I was still unsure of some of the elements Premiere Pro offered. I was just feeling overwhelmed which comes with any new program I've learned this semester. On Tuesday, Croom went over in more detail how this program worked and the importance of being able to pick a key concept/idea from what a person says in an interview for our upcoming project. What I like about his lecture was his emphasis on making sure we understood the program and had a strong foundation before jumping into a project. After Croom had finished lecturing, we were able to watch more Lynda videos and see how everything worked again. I think being able to look at the videos and not following along with the program helped me tremendously grasp the basics of Premiere Pro. I was able to see the person behind the videos thought process and how organization is key to being able to work this program efficiently. This helped clear up some of my concerns on how to effectively choose a clip without having to go through and watching each one. On Thursday we continued watching Lynda videos and this time I applied my knowledge and followed along with Premiere Pro open. Doing this went much smoother than the week before because I felt more confident with my knowledge of the program. I look forward to working on our next project, an interview with a fellow classmate and putting the skills and knowledge of what I've learned in the past two weeks to the test.
