4/25/17Croom had something unique planned for class today. Instead of working on our Premiere Pro video projects, he organized a guest speaker for us. We heard from Kacie Kinney, who is a local realtor and Gaylord College alumna. She talked about how she uses her Gaylord College PR skills in her realty career. The most important lesson I learned from Kacie was about the importance of differentiating your "nature" skills from your "nurture" skills. In other words, every person is born with skills that they just have - skills that they're good at and always will be. These are your nature skills. On the other hand, everyone has those skills they want to be good at, but they take a lot of work to refine. These are your nurture skills. This lesson stood out to me because as I'm thinking about what career path I want to pursue, I should really focus on finding something that combines my nature skills with my interests. Kacie said she likes to have a 70-30 balance in life: 70 percent of the time doing things that come naturally and are enjoyable, while the other 30 percent is spending time doing things that she isn't as good at and aren't as fun - but necessary in order to grow as an individual. Another thing Kacie talked about had to do with career goals. She said, "Everyone's ultimate goal is to help people." I want to find a career that I enjoy and truly benefits others daily. 4/27/17I worked on my video for several hours before class. I got everything done, except the stabilization of some clips. I finally got the hang of Premiere Pro! It took a lot of trial and error (and watching YouTube tutorials), but I'm proud of my work. One thing I am disappointed about is my footage. I wish I had more time to get better, more stable footage and B-roll. I also wish I could have gotten more B-roll to coordinate with the interview content.
