This Semester

My class BC 203 - 01 short for Electronic media production II also describe as a Digital Content Creation and Distribution course. This course was a great experience.  Writing was a key part of this course. BC 203-01 taught us how to create videos and image creation, editing, layout and design, and Web-based design. We set up blog post for each topic and wrote about what we learned doing various projects.



1. Twitter is the first social media outlet we learned about. Twitter is primarily used to display your thoughts about certain events and topics relevant to the mainstream media. In recent years twitter has grown in popularity and is being used as a platform to promote business and trending topics especially to celebrities.

2. The second social media outlet we learned about is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a social media platform that allows people to network with professionals, to establish relationships that translate into job opportunities. LinkedIn allows users to post their education, experience and skills to ensure that employers know enough about them to see if they are qualified for the job. On my LinkedIn i have about 30 friends who Im in contact with almost everyday.

3. The third social media outlet we learned about is Pinterest. The mission is to help people discover things they love. The site allows uses to express how people feel using photos, and is very good for advertising because companies have pinheads displaying their products. On my Pinterest I have 8 boards describing me as a person.

4.  The fourth social media outlet we leaned about is Prezi. Preszi is a presentation website. It can be used for Power Points. Instead of showing slides all time, Prezi allows you to zoom in and out each bubble. On my Prezi i did " Top 10 Athletes of all time.

5. The fifth social media outlet we learned about is the Green Screen. Green screen also known as " Chroma Key " is a visual effects / post-production technique for creating two images or video streams together based on color hues. On my Green screen I putt myself in the gym.

6. Last but not least the sixth social media outlet we learned about is Kizoa. Kizoa edits and creates slideshows that you can share online or download to your computer. i actually had fun doing this because we had to walk around our entire campus look for bulldog statures. it was a scavenger hunt.

As a student I learn techniques to use on social media sites to promote myself and present my content to the public. Layout, web design,  image processing, Photoshop, Adobe in Design, iMovie and more. Setting up a blog enhance my social media presence on Linkedin, Twitter, Prezi, Kizoa and Pinterest. This course has strengthen me as a student in mass media and communication professional, before I only used social media to communicate with friends but now I know how to use social media outlets to promote myself.

Kizoa Scavenger Hunt

Kizoa edits and creates slideshows that you can share online or download to your computer.

Mr. Harwood gave us a scavenger hunt assignment to look for as much ' Bulldog Statues " as possible around South Carolina State University Campus. This assignment was actually fun because it required me to travel around the whole campus all at one time in one day. I came to realize that there were building I never knew exist.

Green Screen Into The Gym

Green screen also known as " Chroma Key "

 is a visual effects / post-production technique for creating two images or video streams together based on color hues

This project is called the green screen assignment. I pick the gym because working out is one of my favorite things to do. My happy place. I also chose this picture because I love to play football so i have to stay in shape.

The first thing I did was find a picture of ta gym. Then I imported it to adobe premier pro.

( Go to file import and select the image).

I added the picture to the adobe program. The dragged  the picture to the V1 panel on the screen., which would now be my background. I went into the green screen room and posed myself making a muscle as if i just finish working out.

I imported the picture into adobe premier pro and scaled it down to the size I wanted it to be, so it would appear that im at the gym. I used the ultra key tool and the matte generation tool so that I can remove the green screen and blend in the gym background. Now it looks like im there.

Scottie Pippen & Michael Jordan

The flu game photo still matters 20 years later. One of the the most iconic moments to come from the game. Scottie Pippen holding up Jordan as they walked off the floor because Michael Jordan was sick with the flu. This Picture remind me of " are you my brothers keeper ".

If you want to be the best sometimes it will cause you to be uncomfortable. By you being comfortable all the time you may never know what it feels to see something new. You have to take risk to survive.
