This competency showcases students’ ability to demonstrate technological and media literacies.
Technological and Media Literacies
Overview: This project was completed for Dr. Susan Hilligoss’ ENGL 853: Visual Communication course. Seminar members created a two to four minute how-to/instructional video on a topic of their choice. Students were graded on their technique in regard to shot composition, including lighting and framing techniques, as well sound quality, editing, and overall presentation. I chose to feature this video project because it showcases my involvement in all phases of video production. Other video projects are also available for view.
Software Used: iMovie
Semester Completed: Fall 2012
