This semester, I've learned a lot of new things and life lessons from the experiences I've had.  I think my strengths would definitely be producing, but I also can create good stories when the time is needed.  I conduct really good interviews; set up wise and question wise.  I also can come up with really interesting shots if I have the time to plan them out.  But as a producer I thrive by writing scripts and and making sure everyone's stories are done on time with their lead in's written. 

My weaknesses differ from videography issues to project management issues.  I'm still working on my problem solving skills and my procrastination on getting stories and other things done (scripts).  I also need to make sure my audio levels are even on the camera before I start filming because in my last story the audio was barely hearable.  Along with this, I still could improve a little more on my script writing skills.  I have the basics down, but I need to focus more on going deeper and trying to insert casual remarks and improv within my writing. 

For this next semester, I'm going to try to focus more on stories and not so much on producing. I love the producing aspect, but I'm trying to lean more towards reporting rather than producing.  I also would like to anchor more and insert more improv into what I say so it is more like a real news broadcast.  I hope to do more news stories and improve on my overall project/time management skills within this next semester.
