WEB SITE, SEPARATION, DREAMS AND VIDEO

When considering the potential capabilities of using a website for self promotion, several things had to be taken into account. First and foremost, as foremost the website will be used to showcase performance capabilities. Several performance photos, as well as a video of a performance has been embedded into the website to show potential clients in interviews for performance related ventures. Secondly, a research paper from an analyzing social problems class that received the grade of 100 has also been added to the website to showcase writing ability as well. Several videos that have been produced for clients have also been embedded into the website as well, these are to be used as examples of proficiency and fluency in the areas of post video production and cinematography focusing on nightlife, music festivals and the flow arts.

Also, every Social media project in COM336 not only prepares the student for the website project, Wikihow gives the student their first minor taste of coding, photoshop, and the beginning basis of writing, as well as speaking objectively. Twitter then reinforces the concept of objective speech, it also teaches the student how to pay attention and interact with rivals and competition in a professional manner. The video project not only teaches the students how to edit film and basic concepts of cinematography, but it also give the student visual content to post onto their website when it comes time. Lastly, in regards to all the blog assignments, these also reinforce the concept of writing objectively, they also give the student the ability to put the link on their website an example of their work to potential employers as well.

Also, in today's day and age, social media and websites go hand in hand, not only because most social media apps are websites as well, but also because there's a certain duality that applies between the two. Meaning that the website, which features links to the social media will direct people to the students social media account, but the social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have the ability to feature links to the website as well, giving the ability for the student to promote themselves and direct potential clients and employers to their website through posting and the use of relevant hash tags.

However, there are several things that can be said about designing a website. The first thing that can be said is that there are several steps the a good majority of people would never take into account. And that first time users may have a difficult time with very user friendly software, Students seem to become overwhelmed and panic, then disregarding the instructions of the professor instead of listening to the steps first. Though there may be a potential bias due to previously held knowledge and experience with similar software that has been put out by the same company. Also, the organizational aspect of making sure everything is in the proper folder and where it needs to be is paramount in the success of a student not “breaking their site” before it started. And successfully adding everything that is needed to add into the layout and build a functioning site. Overall, a student having the access to a personal website is good for their future career, but having the ability to take that knowledge and put it to good use out in the real world, is priceless.
