2. What are the two new parts of the production process that we use in this class that can be found in marketing class under 2 of the 4 P's? Which part of the production process was your favorite and why? Which part of the production process was the most challenging and why? The four P's are product, price, placement, and promotion. The two that we use in class are placement and promotion. These are the methods that we use to get our messages out into the world. An example of placement is putting your media on Youtube for people to see, because if no one sees it, an amazing video is completely useless. We use social media to promote our media to others by spreading the URL and promoting our video and ourselves. My favorite part of the production process was either production or post-production, because I really enjoy using all of the equipment and software to create a medium to spread a message around. The most challenging part of the production process was probably pre-production, because it was a very long process and it was very difficult to think about and organize something that we really wanted to say.
3. What is the most important part of the production process and why? The most important part of the production process is pre-production. Through pre-production, you organize your thoughts and your message in order to set up for production and post-production. It is a very long process that ensures that the other steps go smoothly. Without pre-production, the entire production process couldn't happen.
4. What is the best part of your experience in this class and why? My favorite experience in this class was actually sitting down and learning how to use video editing software. This part of the class made me realize that I really want to be involved in media production as a career when I graduate college. I also enjoyed the interview day. It was a real pleasure to have Crystal Bass on our show, and it went really well. It made me feel like our pre-production really paid off.
5. Explain how you like working in groups in this class, and how has your team grown. Evaluate your team. To be fair being put on trial is tough; however, it literally happens every day at TV stations, ad agencies, film studios, government studios and PR agencies; do you understand why folks were put on trail rather than giving a failing grade for making mistakes and why the trials were public? Explain. Do you think that being put on trial made you more accountable to your group, this class, yourself and your professor? Our team was really great. We work together really well in all aspects of the production process. We all brought something different to the table and it helped us work together to produce what will turn out to be some really good shows. I am grateful for being put on trial rather than receiving failing grades! Not only does it help our GPAs, but it's more realistic, I think. I understand why it was public and why they exist; as it states in the question, I think being put on trial makes you more accountable to your group/class/self/professor. It points out your mistakes but also aims to fix them.
6. How have you grown in this course thus? Has it helped you think critically and have you applied what you have learned in other courses yet? Explain. The first part of this class focused a lot on the pre-production process (script writing, storyboarding, brainstorming, production planning etc and an introduction to editing) and the second part of this class as promised during your midterm exam focused more on editing, production, and post-production. Do you understand and can you please explain the connection between all the pre-production planning work and the actual production and post-production of videos? I think I now have a greater overview of the entire production process. I've learned a better sense of organization and planning as a result of this class. It has helped me think critically, and I've applied critical thinking techniques in all of my classes, as thinking critically is very important in all aspects of life. I understand the connection between all of the pre-production planning work and the actual production and post-production of videos. As I've said before, the pre-production, as indicated by its definition, lends completely to the production process, for without it, production and post-production would be moot. (Other questions under this number are duplicates and have been answered previously.)
7. Evaluate Dr. Chris. Did he do an effective job coaching you and preparing you for the production process? Do you like the fact that social media, guest lectures, interviews with real life authors, guest lectures with Professor Jay, intern hours instead of using primarily textbooks, notebooks, and handouts? Explain why or why not. Would you recommend this class with Dr. Chris to a friend or classmate? Why or why not? Do you think that other professors should utilize these methods? Did you feel like you received individual attention and support from Dr. Chris when you ran into a problem in the course? What grade would you give this class? What would you like Dr. Chris to have done more of in this class? Did you feel confident with the production process now after having taken this class? Knowing what you know about this class would you take it again with Dr. Chris and why? Dr. Chris did an effective job coaching us and preparing us for the production process. The semester threw us a couple of curveballs, but Dr. Chris helped us adjust to the changes and keep the process moving along smoothly. I do like the fact that all of the above mentioned aspects are included in this class. Social media helped us all keep up with class even if we weren't having it during the week. I especially liked guest lectures with Professor Jay, which really helped me get a firm grasp on editing software. I liked not having textbooks, notebooks, and handouts. I think that sort of method is a bit dated and doesn't really lend well to a video production class. I would recommend this class to a classmate, but only if they could handle Dr. Chris' methods! I think they were effective methods and other professors should utilize them as well. I think Dr. Chris was absolutely available for individual consultation, and Facebook was one of the main perpetuators of that. Dr. Chris was often available for chats online to get us on track, which I really appreciated. With its flexibility considered, I'd give this class an A. I think that we could have done just a bit more with Final Cut to really get us up to speed on the post-production process, but I still feel confident with the production process after having taken this class. I'd take this class again with Dr. Chris (maybe with different subject matter? This is a hard question to answer just having completed the class!). Overall, I think I learned all that Dr. Chris had intended for me to learn in this class.
