Photography Classes At McNeese

In my Fall 2022 semester I was able to take classes that introduced me to photography and many principles of photo taking. I was able to learn skills in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom in order to edit and enhance some of the photos that I took.

Videography, Editing, And News Writing Classes At McNeese

While working through my mass communication degree at McNeese, I have taken many videography and editing classes that have increased my knowledge and experience with media creation. I have had the opportunity to work on short films and music videos. For these projects, I was responsible for script writing, story boarding, filming, and editing. I was also responsible for directing actors in order to bring these stories to fruition.

Along with creative film classes, I have also had classes relating to news media production. During these classes, I worked to write news stories. Along with writing, I took the role as news anchor and field reporter. I was responsible for creating multiple news packages which included scripts, interview footage, and b-roll footage. Each story was then edited by me before being submitted to my professor.

I encourage you to look at some of my work! (Music video and short story contain profanity!)

McNeese Football Team

Along with photography and videography classes, I have worked with McNeese’s football team to film and photograph their games and practices. It was a great experience getting more accustomed to camera work, filming techniques, and editing work. The job also heavily relied on teamwork and coordination, as we had to make detailed plans for who captured what and when. It was a fast-paced job where we had to be on high alert for any changes or problems that arose.
