Evaluation Question Six

 Initially, when i started media, i honestly did not know much, It was just decision i made completely out of passion. However i knew, with time, i will gradually learn how to come about with it. And i was completely correct. With time, the process of construction of things present in our course, i automatically learnt a lot. Whether it was about media as a proffession or simply the basics, like how to hold a camera, or in other words, how to deal with technology. Coping with the course, i managed to firstly, handle a camera in a proffessional way, along with how to make good use of a tripod. The buttons of the camera now make more sense to me than they did a few months ago. Now i am cofortable enough to be able to shoot with different cameras, I'm confident enough to. I always read the option of 'white balance' but never really knew the purpose. Now i know that it is very necessary to use that option before shooting in order to capture light in a clear way. I have understood how a camera works like an eye, its right and left, its frame, and even its memory. However, abviously its nothing like a human eye when it comes to capturing light. We see light as it is but a camera lense can only see what's dominanting. This is where white balance steps in. So now i make sure i use white balance before capturing anything within a frame. I've even understood that out-door shoot can neglect this option, but it is heavily needed once shooting in-door. Coming towards the computer, well. starting with a lowest most things, its easier for me to work on and manage my own blog now since we have to have a blog of our own. I am able to attatch any sorts of files, videos, pictures or any data i want on my blog, in the order i want them to be. I make good use of other programmes on the computer other than just facebook, youtube or google. I was completely alien towards editing softwares and music softwares before but now I'm starting to understand them. I know how important it is to render files, or even how long it can make you wait. I know the type of generation loss that occurs after the raw footage goes through the entire editing process. However, after completing my film, it really amuses me how just plain camera shots turn into a complete film just by the help of editing. The importance of sound and video effects is now understandable. These effects are the essence of media products. They create genres out of ordinary camera shots. However,i still have to learn more about editing because this was my very first time and there is so much available on these softwares and i want to know each and everything about them which i know i will by next year. However i do understand the variations of these softwares that keep changing with time as technology is becoming more advanced. I feel media keeps changing just because technology brings in so much more. So at every step, we tend to learn something new. Today i know things, but tomorrow, these might become just the first few letters of the alphabetical order. Technology plays the biggest part in this process and i have learnt so much about it in very little time and i am hoping to learn more at every step i take next.
