Final Blog Post

   In my Electronic Media class I have picked up so many skills. I even learned more about different social media websites and started new accounts. There are so many advantages when it comes to social websites. There is even a professional website for the work force. Doing these projects helped me set up for life after college and helped build up my portfolio.
   Twitter is a handle that most people go on to chat with friends and stay updated with trending topics and such. It is probably one of the social media handles that I actually visit on the daily for a laugh or so. My twitter name is @StepInsideTea and I created this account for a more professional panel. I wanted to do things off an account that was not so personal.
    LinkedIn is definitely a professional type of social media handle. It is for people in the workplace to stay connected or even to get a better understanding of someone. This is how you keep in contact with colleagues and future bosses. You can find me as 'Lynn McGrier'.
   On Prezi, I did my presentation on my Favorite top 10 portfolio pictures that I took this fall. They turn out was great! I chose the presentation with the circles. It was easier to me and it looked better for my portfolio than any other theme.
   For the green screen project "Where I Want To Be" was me, simply getting a picture taken in front of the green screen and I had to edit it on Adobe Premiere Pro. I edited my green screen photo onto a news station. I want to be a news anchor so of course I the news station would be the first place I edit my picture onto. I then found some really cool effects I could put on my photo so I did that just do stand out a little bit from my classmates. I wanted to try something new.
This is the final result!

   For the Kizoa slideshow that I did, it was based around the SC State Bulldog Hunt. I went around campus and captured pictures of bulldog statues that I saw around.
   I did my Classmate Feature Story on Dominique Bryant. He is a football player here at South Carolina State University that aspires to be an athletic trainer. I actually enjoyed interviewing him because in just the brief amount of time that we had together, I pretty much knew him better than most people here on campus.
   I enjoyed myself a lot in this class. I learned how to still be professional on social media and how edit slideshows by just playing around with Prezi and Kizoa. Especially with the green screen, I learned how to photoshop photos and edit them with different types of filter and all. Technology is really advanced now and it takes a lot of knowledge to understand how to use certain sites. This class was helpful to me because the techniques that I have learned will be put to use for my own special projects and portfolio that I plan on creating for my future communications job. Learning about my classmates and working with them was definitely the best part of it all. Being able to do hands on things is what makes the learning process more efficient.
