In Class: My Chosen Space

I'm planning to observe the Rave movie theatre at Ridgemar Mall.  It holds more theatres than a Movie Tavern, and brings more people in audience.  The theatre holds all sorts of arguments from advertising to make people watch a movie to buying overpriced concessions. 

I decided on a movie theatre, because I am a RTVF major and this particular subject highly interests me.  I'm currently taking a Business in the Media class, and we have recently been discussing the major media conglomerates movie output.

In Class: First Week of School

This week has been great.  My favorite class is Video I for FTDM, and we had our first lab on Wednesday.  My group is starting on multi-camera, and we are going to work with a broadcast journalism class to create a news show in the new HD film studio in Moudy.  I was the technical director yesterday and operated a switchboard.  We have our first newscast next Wednesday.

I'm a little frustrated with one of my classes, due to being wait listed.  The wait list is completely unnecessary.  Business of Media is interesting, we are learning about all of the conglomerates and the monopolies of various goods and services.

Allow myself to introduce... myself

My name is Ashley, and I am a senior, Radio, TV, Film major who previously majored in Journalism.  I chose to take this course, because it is required to graduate.  I hope to learn to better organize longer essays so that they flow better and aren't as choppy.

I prefer writing an analysis on literature than creating an argument.  I text more than I e-mail or go on Facebook, and I prefer to use full sentences rather than abbreviations on all three types of media.  I mail letters to my great grandfather regularly.  I feel I have a solid grasp of the English language, and I love to hand write things rather than type them.  I'm rather proud of my handwriting.

My aesthetic choices paint me as a movie fanatic, with an eclectic sense of style, and a love of classic rock.  Any papers I work on will be handwritten first and then typed and always turned in on time because of my respect for deadlines.

I have read, understand, and agree to the terms of the course syllabus. (The title is a quote from Austin Powers)
