Video Production Mid-Term Exam:
1. What are the three parts of the production process?
Pre-production, production, and post production.
2. What are the two new parts of the production class that we use in this class that can be found in marketing class of the 4 P's? Explain why you think it is effective?
There are four P's in marketing and we use two of them in this class which are: promoting and distributing. I think these two parts of production is important because they help one reach their main goal: to be successful and get your message out. By using promotion, the product or idea will be successful and be seen by many. More and more people will see the product making it more popular and making more people want to buy the product. Distributing is also very important, because if you do not distribute the product to the right people, it will not be successful. Knowing where to distribute your product is key in the production process.
3. What is the most important part of the production process and why?
Preproduction is the most important part of the production process. It is the most important because it sets up the rest of the production phase. It gives you a strong grounding for the rest of the process. If you do not have a plan and schedule, you will not be successful during the production and postproduction process. Preproduction occurs all over the world. Also Doc Chris mentioned that your show is nothing if your preproduction is nothing. One must have an idea of which they take and create an outline. This outline then becomes your script. when your script is strong your outcome is strong.
4. What is the best part of your experience in this class? Why?
I really enjoy how this class is very interactive. I enjoy how this class is not like the others in the essence that it is extremely laid back and fun. This class is not all about lecturing and test taking like all my other classes. This class makes us experience real life situations. Doc Chris preforms mock interviews that let us practice our skills for the real world. Therefore, the best part of this class is the interaction that Doc Chris provides. It gives a sense of relaxation, making the class more comfortably and enjoyable.
5. Explain how you like working in groups in this class and how has your team grown? Evaluate your team.
I really enjoy working with groups in this class. I think our group works extremely well together. Even though we had a set back, when our initial producer dropped out, I stepped up as the new producer and I think we have been strong ever since. When we meet we always agree and collaborate our ideas, which produces great outcomes. Our team is very compatible with each other and we have come up with some great ideas and scripts! Overall, I think our group will be very successful and have some amazing outcomes with our commercials, interviews, and PSA's.
6. How have you grown in this class thus far? Has it helped you critically think and have you applied what you have learned in other courses yet? Explain. What do you expect to learn in the second part of this course?
I think i have grown a lot since the beginning of the semester. First off, I am a very shy person, but this class led me to be more outgoing. I never thought I would be the producer of a group, but I have stepped up and become the producer of Citywide. I think that I have done a really good job with getting everyone together and having everyone help out with the scripts. This class has helped me think critically and I have applied what I have learned in this class to other classes. I have stepped up to be leaders in a few of my other classes and blogging has helped me keep track of my notes and what happened in class that day. I also have started to incorporate using 'edutainment' in my other classes. I expect to learn more about the production and postproduction process when we return. I think we will focus more on the video shooting and editing the film we have collaborated.
7. Evaluate Doc Chris. Is he doing an effective job coaching you and preparing you for the production and postproduction process? Do you like the fact that social media is being used instead of textbooks, notebooks, and handouts? Explain Why. Finally, what do you want him to work with the class on generally and you specifically?
I think that Doc Chris is a very good instructor. He conducts his class in a very different way than other professors at Loyola. He is very interactive with his students and makes the class extremely entertaining and interesting. He also does a great way of using 'edutainment' to conduct this course. I think he has done a very effective job coaching us for the production and postproduction process. He has prepared us so that now we can use these skills we have learned and start these two processes with our groups. I love the fact that he uses social media instead of the normal teaching process that Loyola professors use. I love how we use Facebook in class. I thought it was a great idea to have a Facebook class when we were snowed out. It allowed us to not miss any class-time. I also like how Doc Chris makes us blog after each class. It is a great way to look back at our notes and see what we did each day. I think I would like Doc Chris to work more with the class about actual editing and using the cameras. I feel like we are going to be doing more work involving this, because we are going to start focusing on the production and postproduction phases. I would like him to work with me specifically with my interviewing skills since that is an essential for anything in the communications world. I will need to have good skills for interviewing for jobs, internships and other opportunities. In all, I really enjoy Doc Chris and enjoy his 'edutainment'!
