With three stories down and the fourth and final one in the works, it’s hard to look back and say I haven’t learned anything. Actually, I’ve learned a tremendous amount.
My reporting skills have skyrocketed and my innate curiosity level has jumped as well; all things that lead to being a successful journalist.
Also, I can use Final Cut Pro. Well, maybe I’m not an expert, but I certainly feel comfortable enough to edit and produce videos for the web. I give all the credit in the world to our professor and my mentor Chris Delboni with a helping hand from Millennium Beat’s web editor Dena Giannini.
Tonight, Olivia and I are going back to the Temple Beth Shmuel Montessori school to film our new media component for our final story. The pressure is building to get the story done because our current draft of our print story is far from par. Once we get this footage tonight of children singing and dancing in front of family and friends for Israeli Independence day, it’ll all be in the hands of Final Cut to get this story done.
Besides for two finals, this is it. College is over. Wow.
