1. 3 things I learned that I am applying in the real world:
             Teamwork is crucial in a production
             You can use still photos to tell a story
             The more you do it the easier it becomes

2. How did what you learned in class help you when you participated in "Chatting With"?

             It helped with thinking on my feet and feeling comfortable when placed in a position of public speaking as well as skills to help with conducting an interview.

3. In your opinion what is the best part of "Chatting With" and how do we expand it?

           The best part of "Chatting With" was hearing the different stories and how they came to the position they are currently in.

4. I would absolutely take this class again and have already recommended it to others. It created a fun learning environment as well as an easy way to learn by allowing us to get involved.

Exam

1.

                   3 point lighting consists of a fill lighting, key lighting, and back lighting.

2. 
 Extreme Close-up Shot
 
 Long Shot
 Medium Long Shot
 Medium Close-up Shot
Close up Shot

3. The Icarus rule is do not shoot directly into the sunlight when shooting outdoors because you won't be able to see anything and it could burn up your lens. When shooting indoor you must turn off the lights before shooting to obtain lighting from the key, fill, and back lighting.

4. A 30 second story board about Firefly Music Festival
 
5. 5 photos for a 15 second video and 10 for a 30 second video
 
6. This class has placed a large emphasis on group work because it takes a team to create a good story and team work is essential for proper execution of lighting and photographing.
 
7. Overall, Doc Chris, you are an excellent teacher. I enjoy the enthusiasm you bring to the classroom setting and you allow us to get hands-on experience as to what this class is all about.
