Overall, I enjoyed our class this semester. There were a lot of things I learned that I am sure I will need to use as a future filmmaker, as well as other things that were just interesting and good to know in general. I know a lot of what we learned may never come up again, like HTML coding or binary code, but its good to know the language. And you never know, I could end up wanting to customize another blog down the road.
My favorite things about the class were definitely the lab classes, where we got to actually do stuff instead of just hear Prof. Anderson or Lucas talk about it. Not that the lectures were bad, but its pretty obvious that doing something is way more interesting and fun than listen to someone explain how other people do it. Also the lectures did seem to have a lot of fluff in them. Examples of graphic design and video are good to see, but it just seemed like a waste of time once you see 3 or 4 in a row. It seemed our professors had a lot of actual experience doing what they were teaching us, and I think it would have been cool to see more of their work, to make it more personal and fun.
Anyways, I'm really interested in seeing what we learn next semester in 160, and I'm hoping it will be more hands-on. Getting behind a camera, learning how to do more with photoshop, or even learning how to edit would be really awesome. Overall, I give the class an A+. Now I'd like one back.
