		<title>Shooting 2 Assignment: University Gospel Choir</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This video is from the second shooting and editing assigment of our class.  We had three main goals 1) conduct a video interview with an expert or interesting person, 2) learn how to shoot with a tripod, and 3) learn how to shoot B-roll.  When my original story idea fell through, I heard the University Gospel Choir was starting practice [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=41&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Blogging 3: What I Know For Sure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to miss having a Toolkit course in my schedule next Fall, and I think taking the two courses has been one of the best educational decisions/investments I&#8217;ve made at the University of Florida.  This semester has went by so fast, but I want to make sure that I remember the most important things [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=39&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Final Project: The Place to be in Archer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For our final video project this semester, we partnered up with someone in class to tell a personal story that reflected a theme or issue related to the 2008 Presidential Election.  My group&#8217;s first story idea about health care for Veterans at the VA Hospital did not work out because we had limited access and freedom to report [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=38&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Blogging 2: Flash Journalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For this week&#8217;s class we learned about Flash journalism, and we explored packages from different news organizations to understand our likes and dislikes from the viewer/user perspective.   I decided to spend some time examining Broken Trust (HeraldTribune.com), which is the result of a two-year investigation of  why hundreds of Florida school teachers who have sexually harassed [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=34&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Editing is a Process&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although editing can be different from project to project, I learned that editing is a process in Week 4 of class.  In this class we started our Editing 1 assignment, which was to edit the video we collected for our first shooting assignment.   Our Shooting 1 assignment was to shoot a simple sequence of one [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=32&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Blogging 1: Comparing Videos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For this assignment I decided to compare two videos from The Spokesman-Review.  
The first video I watched was Helping Others posted by Brian Immel. It is about 17-year-old Sean Hoffman, who decided to help shovel snow for others when his school was cancelled for one week because of the weather.  The video was only 1minute 50 seconds [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=33&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Week 3: &#8220;I Can Visualize It All&#8230;&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Week 3 of class was all about thinking of ways we would capture an experience and tell a story using video.  So there were 3 main parts of this week&#8217;s class I thought were significant in helping us transition into this visual thinking.
1. Camera Basics and Shooting Techniques
Before a journalist can tell a story using [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=31&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Week 2: Shooting Fundamentals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s class we learned basic shooting techniques, were issued Canon HV20 video cameras, and shot our first in-class assignment!  Yay! This class was a lot of fun. Mindy started the class by helping us understand how we should think as videographers.  We learned not to think so passively with the cameras, or we would end [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=30&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What I Know For Sure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember listening to the lecture in Week 1, as Mindy went over our syllabus, and thinking &#8220;Kecia, what have you gotten yourself into?&#8221;  Although I continued to have these thoughts right up until I completed my last project for the class, I feel like I can honestly answer that question now.  Little did I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=keciaj.wordpress.com&blog=1662528&post=25&subd=keciaj&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
