Day #5: Week in Review

The best part of the week was when we finally finished our segment. I felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. I think that our segment turned out very well. I'm so proud of what we put together!

The low part of the week was all the stress that came with putting together our segment. Putting together the segment was the most difficult thing I've done related to journalism. I am glad that it is now finished, and I have something to show off!

I have had an AMAZING time this week. This is my second and last time coming to the camp, and it's something I'll never forget. I am going to miss Mrs. Lee and James. They are amazing teachers and leaders! I can't wait to see them again sometime!

And I'll miss all of the friends I've made. I hope to see every sometime soon!

      The high point of the week was when the pole vault video came together in the end.  It was my idea from the start so it was really exciting to see it come together.  It was also interesting because it was not a well known story so it had interest.  Pole vaulting never seems to get much recognition in the sports field so I was happy we could cover it.
      The low point of the week was when we missed the pole vault meet.  I was really hoping to get video clips from the actual event.  We fixed the problem, but when it first happened I was afraid we would have to cut the entire clip

High's and Low's

High's: Anchoring for the Grady Glee Report, Editing the UGA Myths segment, Collaborating with people that focus and get the job done, Playing RockBand and Glee Sing-a-long at Grady After Dark, Meeting new people with similar interests and ideas, Beating the clock and working under pressure with positive results...Grady Glee is just awesome in general!

Low's: Less sleep, dealing with problems that occurred while making the news report...Honestly I did not have really any lows from this camp. It was fun, engaging, and makes you want to go to the Grady School!


Kalin's Week in Review

I have learned so much from the Georgia Journalism Academy. I have received so much experience and I can teach my broadcasting classes at school all the wonderful things I have learned.  Learning timing and organization will definitely help me in the future.  THANK YOU SO MUCH GRADY GLEE!!!!!!
Kalin's SWOT

S- Strength
My strengths in this broadcasting class were reporting and editing.  Even though I am unfamiliar with the editing software, I still found a way to make it work and make a successful video project.

W- Weakness
My weaknesses were filming and working at the last minute.  When in the field I have a hard time getting great shots.  I have had projects turn out in a disaster and not know until the deadline that it was not very good.  I have had to make quick alterations so I can make my deadline.  In the end, I had learned how to deal with those situations.

O- Opportunity
I had the opportunity to learn how to use a different type of editing software and learn to work at a faster pace than I am used to.

T-Threat
Again, my biggest threat was TIMING.  It was hard to get things done absolutely PERFECT in the amount of time we were given.

David Hazinski

David Hazinski from what I have heard is a wonderful professor at the University of Georgia (Grady College).  He is a former correspondent at NBC News.   My instructors, Ms. Lee and Mr. James has said that he is a tough teacher who doesn't take any excuses and has a wonderful sense of humor.  He is the head of Broadcast News.  Hopefully, if I am a student at UGA, I will have him as a professor.

Week in Review

Hailey Harrison- Broadcasting

Over the past week, I feel like we have accomplished so much! I have loved working with all of the broadcasting gleeks, sharing a passion for the same thing. We have worked as a team the whole way through and I am so proud of my team! Mrs. Lee and James have been awesome instructors and have taught me more than I could have hoped to learn! I have had little sleep, but I have loved everything I have done. This is definitely an experience that I will never forget!
