Hello Everyone! (As you might have noticed, I have switched from Edublogs to Weebly!) Every year, CKTV takes a trip to compete at a convention for S.T.N., or the Student Television Network. Well this year, the media class will be taking a trip to Flordia. Well anyways, for this weeks blog, we are supposed to write about the STN competition we would like to be apart of. Some of these categories consist of anchor team, PSA, movie trailer, spot feature, commercial, and music video. As I am a new student to the media class, I had no idea of what these were, so I asked my partner. I had to think a lot about this because there are just so many to choose from. After thinking about it a lot, I came to a conclusion. I'd like to do either the Spot Feature or Movie Trailer.
I'd to like to do the Spot Feature because I'd like to know about another person's life. It also seems like an cool category to begin with. I actually watched last year's team spot feature video, it was very interesting and I thought they did a good job. I think it would be a good experience for me to try it out.
Another reason why I would like to do the Spot feature is because I like filming interviews and I like to be behind the camera. I'd like to learn more about filming and I want to improve my filming/camera skills. This is mostly because I can't act and I am very shy, well, for the most part.
I'd like to do the Movie Trailer because I think of it as a 'fun' category. I've seen a bunch of movie trailers, in my 11 years of breathing and it tries and convinces you or pursade you to want to watch the movie when it comes out. Or a movie trailer is like a sneak peak or a preview of the movie. Some movies I couldn't care less about because the movie trailer didn't catch my eye or it wasn't exciting or interesting to me. But, then there are those others that make me impatient and excited for the movie! Some of them include voice overs, or music to set the mood and kind of guide the storyline. I want to learn how to do these kinds of stuff when editing.
In conclusion, I would like to do either the Spot Feature or the Movie trailer is because I would like to improve my filming and camera skills and I would like to learn how to do cool things when editing. S.T.N. and the trip is a lot to think about.
