The Most Valuable Experience

If you had to pick three things that you found the most valuable from this class experience, what would they be? What do you feel overall that this course has helped you prepare for?

1. I was able to edit every day.

One of the biggest reason I wanted to take this class was because I knew I wasn't going to have much time to make films outside of school. This year, I already had 3 AP classes on top of SATs to take. Thus, it was valuable for me to be able to come to class, sit in front of the computer, and have the opportunity to edit nearly every day.

2. The equipment

Through this class, I was able to have access to professional cameras and editing software. It was especially valuable for me to have access to the adobe creative cloud. When I first came into class, only had a vague idea that I liked to make films. Once I came to this class, and through the access to premiere pro, I realized that I loved editing the most about filmmaking.

3. The reality of the film industry

I took this course in order to see if filmmaking was a serious pursuit for me. Learning about the reality of the industry through Mr. Furtado and the filmmaker I interviewed at the coffee shop for an hour gave me an idea of what it is like to pursue this as a career.
