The course syllabus for the
communication class 333; music video can help or enhance my abilities in
the field. The syllabus is well design course explanation of the class as well
as few pointers on how to blog and set up a podcast. In this day and age as
students seeking professional recognition and employers, setting
up a blog with intelligent, educated ideas and opinions and sound
research will make it easy for employers to see us a leaders of the industry.
It is not enough to have a degree but also have work to back that degree up so
to speak. Our blogs and research papers should be work that an employer can see
and admire; to show them *I didn't just fly by through school. * In the
syllabus it says:
"This course
is for anybody interested in electronic communication, video production, and
cultural criticism. COMM 300-level courses are, for the most part, practical,
hands-on and intellectual, critical-thinking courses. The course projects
are designed to help the aspiring media professional use words, imagery,
and sounds more efficiently and effectively, particularly to further social
causes and aims. " (pg. 8)
With this
helpful information one

video, sound can create and make a visual aspect to something better
or something completely different.
