Social Media Fast

Reflection Recently I took a ten day fast from social media and it was gloriously difficult. It was definitely something I needed because I am almost always on social media, and it was something that I really felt like I needed to do. The first day was extremely difficult, u the following days were super duper easy, it also caused me to use my phone lesser than usual, another plus. The only con that I ran into was the fact that I use Instagram to communicate with my classmates, but that was easily solved by just giving them my number. It was every now and then annoying not being able to access my memes, but I then remembered that I could just use Google to find memes. Once I had finished the fast, I found that I was using social media not as much as I had before, so overall, I thought it was a good experience that all should try at least once.

Feature Story

Over the past couple weeks, I was assigned to do a feature story over somebody in the class. To start, we were assigned our partners, we talked for a bit to get to know each other and to find a topic for the interview. Once that was done we started to write our questions (twenty-one were required). Over the course of the writing of the questions, I found that I would have to dig deep with the questions because I found that some questions I was going to ask seemed far too similar to other questions. Once we started filming was when most problems started to occur, most of them involving the camera as either the lighting was off and would not want to be fixed, or we accidentally picked a crappy camera. I learned through this, that sometimes problems would occur and that I would just have to persevere through them. Ince the editing process began, I decided I wanted to do a more entertaining and goofy take on the interview all while staying on topic. That is the second video, the first is
