Overall, this semester has been very productive for me. Going into this course, the only Adobe editing program I had experience with was Photoshop, and very minimal experience at best. I now have a good grasp of all these different programs now, which will serve me well going into my future profession.
My favorite project to work on during this semester would have to be the audio story I created with Adobe Audition. Out of all the programs, I felt as though I had the best handle on Audition because it was the most straightforward to me. As a result, I think I was able to use my creativity to produce a good final product, as I did not have the struggle of trying to figure out the tools of the program. I also enjoyed the that unit because it directly inspired me to produce projects in the future that I had never thought of doing before. When I went to Portugal for spring break, I used the audio clip that I recorded of people speaking in Portuguese on the bus. I think it may be fun to create more audio stories that use those elements. In my future travels, I could interview people from around the world on certain topics and organize their various responses using Adobe Audition.

My ideal future profession is to become an actor. The skills that I have learned from this course will be invaluable to me as I pursue that career. In this digital age, going for a career in the entertainment industry involves building an online presence. A great way to do that would be to create logos, graphics, and reels that can be put on a website. As an actor, this class has given me the skills to start building that presence in order to make myself more visible to the industry. Adobe Premiere will be especially helpful in putting together my acting reel as I book more jobs and collect more footage of my performances.
One skill that we did learn in this course, but I would’ve liked studying a little bit deeper is website creation. I think it would be beneficial to work with some of the other sites in which websites can be built, just to compare which one we like the best. Other than that, everything else we learned is a good basis for exploring content creation in the future. All of the resources that were used in class were valuable, especially the tutorials for each program, so I thankfully did not really need to rely on any outside material.
I thoroughly appreciate what this course has taught me, as it has provided me with a launch pad for developing future works. There is certainly still more to learn, however I now don’t have to feel intimidated when attempting to create something using one of these Adobe programs. I feel satisfied with the work I have produced in this class, and it will only get better from here.
