CPMS100 and CPMS101
Video Project: 12/9/19
I chose this assignment to be a part of my portfolio because it was one of the more enjoyable projects to make for me. It was a good mix of making a creative project and interacting with some of my peers. That project helped forge some of my closest friendships at UMD. We had to work together and use different types of software in order to represent a day in the life of a student at UMD. It gave us a chance to learn how to effectively put together a video and also express what our experience had been like in our first semester in college. That will forever stay with me as one of the most fun projects I did here at the University of Maryland.
How does media "do good" in a crisis? Create your own media
project: May 5/7/20
This was a unique project due to the fact that the assignment was to create some positive media content during a pandemic after we had all been sent home. I decided to call one of my closest friends from high school as well as fellow media scholar, Nnamdi Ede, and discuss how he had been staying busy during quarantine. Nnamdi has always been a fun person to talk to which made it a fun project to do and hopefully fun for anyone else who may have watched it. It was also one of our first experiences with zoom which has become a huge part of our lives these days. It was fun and helped us develop in our use of software as well as improved our interviewing skills. It was a very productive project overall.
