PORTFOLIO

Looking back on my skillset at the beginning of the semester, I can confidently say that I’ve grown the most in my ability to work across different media formats. Coming into this class, I had a little experience with photography, audio editing, and video production. Now, after completing all three assignments and putting together my WordPress portfolio, I can see real improvements in how I plan, create and present my work.

My least favorite part of the process was building the website on WordPress. I struggled to make the pages look the way I envisioned them. What I wanted in my head wasn’t always reflected on the screen, and I had to watch several tutorials to understand how to customize the layout properly. Even though it was frustrating at times, it taught me patience and how to trust the process.

The most challenging part of creating media content was definitely the audio and video editing. I spent a lot of time adjusting tiny pieces, whether it was matching audio levels, cutting clips together smoothly, or correcting mistakes I didn’t notice at first.

Out of all the projects, the piece I am most proud of is my photography assignment. I really enjoyed the creative freedom I had with and the process of it coming all together.

Moving forward, I know I will reuse the editing skills we developed in class for future school work or even personal content creation. Moreover, this course not only taught me new skills but also how to be more patient with myself as a creator.
