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

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!

Week in Review

This week has taught me so much about not only broadcast journalism, but other areas such as leadership and dedication. The highs for this week include working together as a team to produce an AMAZING show, learning to problem solve quickly, and enjoying bagels and laughs with my fellow journalists and Ms. Lee and JB. I consider the lows for this week to include the lack of dedication and leadership in the class at some points and the rush we were often in to put this show together. Overall, however, I think that this week and this broadcast has been a success and has definitely showed me that hard work is stressful, but can also be so incredibly fun.

Week in Review

As a lows for the week, I was disappointed that towards the middle it became stressful because of all the things to do with so little time.  Also the inexperience of our crew didn't help.  But in the end they came through and did a great job!  We all learned a lot from this experience and I look forward to doing this again next year.
As highs for the week, I think we really bonded as a group.  We all know each other pretty well now, even those people who weren't in our groups, and we made friends.  And of course the broadcast turned out great!  Hope to see y'all again next year!

This Week

This week has gone by so fast. I don't want it to end :( I have learned a lot more then i thought and everything was a high for me! Except for having so sound on an interview... but everything worked out and fell into place. This camp was well organized and i actually had a lot of fun. It started out only being a way to get credit for a class, but turns out i want to come back next year and be apart of this amazing experience one again :). I learned how to really manage your time and to work diligently. Ms. Lee and James are such great teachers and i learned more than i would have ever imagined!

High's & Lows

This week has honestly went by so fast, but I had a blast this entire week. Even though at times I experienced my lows, which were starting off at a rocky start and coming to class seven minutes late. However, my highs were amazing, because I was offered many opportunities. For example, I had the chance to interview essential people in the community of UGA. In addition, I met with Channel 2 News reporter Jeff Dore, and he gave more wonderful advice about becoming an upcoming news reporter.

High and lows

The high points of this week was making new friends within my journalism broadcasting class. Also all the activities we did as a camp especially skate night. I look forward to next year. The low points of this camp were only the intense deadlines and the workload. I had a really fun time ,i really appreciate what UGA is doing for my future.

S.W.O.T

Strengths: My strengths this week were being able to write, it helped my group and i felt very accomplished. Weakness: My weakness this week was that I didn't take every opportunity this week. For example, I wish would've gone to the red and black tour and the campus tour but i didn't take advantage of either of them. Opportunities: I had the opportunity to live the college life for a week and stay in a dorm room. I also had the opportunity to create a full broadcast and work with my sports group. Threats: My threat was not being able to interview anyone from the football program, i really wish they weren't so protected.

Jaiah Rodgers Blog Entry Five- "Week-in Review"

The highs, for me this week is that I was most definitely determined to work and my partners had just as much of a drive as me, so everything worked smoothly. Another high for me was that working on the scripts and everything was also a great learning experience because normally, I'm just presented with the script.

The lows for me this week were my lack of sleep. I 'm tired and irritable every morning but as you can see, I manage to make it through.

David Hazinski

David Hazinski is a professor at UGA and a very unique man. He has different teaching methods and different ways to communicate with the students. He teaches a Grady college at the University of Georgia. In the past Hazinski has been involved with NBC and Atlas TV. If I were to interview Hazinski I would ask him what it is like to be a professor and what he likes the most about teaching and journalism.

Week in Review

This camp has been an unbelievable experience. I understood the knowledge it took to report stories. The reporting I worked on this week, was for nothing. In result, I have nothing to show for the time spent here at camp. I am not even apart of the broadcasting video. The main reason I came to camp was to report. Over all, the camp has been SO-SO.This camp was a great experience.  I wish everyone the best luck, that is apart of the camp! :)

highs and lowss

This past week I experienced both highs and lows. The highs I experienced included getting to interview people who really were impacted by sports here at uga. I got to see just how much uga students loved the campus and how much it had become part of their life. Another high was getting to actually report sports even if it was only for a small period of time. My school doesn't offer any journalism programs so it was definitely  a wonderful experience for me to do what I loved. A low that I experienced was when basically all hope seemed to be lost with the sports interviews. No players were allowed to talk to us, coaches were booked for weeks, and it seemed as though the story was better off just no longer being a part of the broadcast.

THE WEEK

My highs for this week were rooming with my bestfriend and spending time with her while working on something that we both were excited about doing. My lows were having to recreate the image of our segment and write something completely different in twenty minutes.

Highs and lows

The highs of  my week were laughing with my best friend and collaborating with her over what we do best, finally finishing the editing on our piece, and Friday breakfast at Bolton. The lows of my week were rushing to rewrite our entire script twenty minutes before the unplanned shooting , especially after staying up till one a.m by myself to finish the original.

David Hazinski

David Hazinski is very important to journalist students at uga. Often times his methods of teaching are unique but all can agree they are still very influential. David is owner at Intelligent Media Consultants, professor of both Digital and Broadcast Journalism at the University of Georgia as well. In the past he was involved with  CNN-IBN, A Pink TV, Atlas TV, and even a correspondent at NBC news. One would assume that the professors love and passion for ugh and its student would have developed as young child but the professor did not attend Uga but attended college in Pittsburg. A random fact about the professor is that he can actually be followed on twitter with his most recent tweet being, "Asking people to watch a 30-second spot before watching a 2 minute online video is dumb. Ads are fine, but should be shorter".If I were to ever interview David Hazinski, I would ask the following few questions:
1) What influenced you to become so passionate about Journalism?
2) How have your students helped you develop more as a journalist?3) What would you call your teaching technique?
4)Was their a time in your life when you believed you did not want to be a journalist and what influenced you to question it?

SWOT

Strengths: A strength I believe I have had this week is the ability to work well under poor circumstances. Weakness: I believe i have had this week are not explaining well to others properly my opinion towards issues regarding our section. Opportunities:I had the opportunity to get out their and actually interview people which is something I had never really been given the chance to do. Threats: The threat that mainly influenced me this week is how protected the football team is. The protection of the team and their players almost completely ruined the football section this week from happening.
