JN 217 Week 10 Blog Forum

My three goals for this term in JN 217 Feature writing
  1. Learning how to create a story with good sources through research and interviews. Whether it's human interaction or online research with reviews.
  2. Writing is one thing, but editing is another and I was able to do well with the basketball stories with help so I want to learn how to edit better when I go to work with the paper in the fall.
  3.  Interviewing I was able to do well there is always room for improvement though which is something I need. 
Personally I didn't do as well for myself, but I am the person to always help others out if they are struggling.  So in learning all of these tips I was able to do well enough.  When i was writing my basketball stories last term that is when I got better learning how to edit though made my previous stories and future stories better.  I have always been good at talking to people interviewing I just got better at not being nervous for speaking to them.  I still need to work on my researching because I don't like looking stuff up I would rather do an interview to get human interaction.  Doing all the player and coach interviews for every home game for basketball at Linn-Benton I got to know the players and become friends and also with the Profiles I got to know where they came from and how they started basketball.

Topic 1: The best photo that I have taken would have been my Portraits of the baseball Co-Captains Spencer DesBiens and Caleb Smith. These Photos stood out because I was able to get really good lighting and with the shades being able clear faces. It reflects that I can be really good with a camera when I am in the field I love to be in. My photos skills have improved a lot considering that I have been able to help other students understand how their cameras work. Spencer DesBiens Caleb Smith Topic 2: Looking back on this term I have improved a lot with my skills as a photographer and a person dealing with the class I will be able to pass, but I wasn't able to get and A through the restrictions of life and and not being able to finish some of the assignments.  Also I wasn't able to contribute to the paper at all this term so I have made that a priority for next year I will contribute no matter what with the sports section.

Topic 1: Self Portrait Spencer Desbiens/ Caleb Smith Claim to fame: They are the team Co-Captains Outdoors on a sunny day Baseball bat, players, gloves Contact through coach, email, or text Self Critique My best photo would have to be the close up of the basketball player getting ready to take a jump shot even though the lighting in the gym sucks. My worst photo would have to be my week one photos because the lighting in the gym sucks and I didn't have the right lens with my camera for sports. The skill that I need to improve on is trying to expand the type of subjects I take instead of just one type like basketball.  Improving the quality of my photos will have to adjusting the focus to lineup the dot with the subject.
