Final Service Learning Log

My overall experience with this service learning project and working with the professor was a great experience. I was able to do something I have never done before and out of my comfort zone; creating a video. Additionally, just learning about the museum and the history of many printing technologies was amazing and has created appreciation in me for the printing technology that exists today.

Everything worked as intended and I did not face any major problems; I was able to apply of the concepts I learned in class to make my video. Any other specific questions I had I spoke with the professor who would always promptly respond.

Finally, I'm glad I completed my objectives and that my video served its intended purpose for the museum of printing.

Third Meeting

On our last meeting, I discussed with the professor how I was reaching the goals I was intending to achieve with my video. I was in the process of completing and everything was going well. Soon after I submitted the final video, I received great feedback from the professor and it was agreed that my video accomplished what I intended it to do personally and for the service learning requirement.

Second Meeting

Around the middle of the semester, I discussed with the professor where everything was standing with the video project. At that time most of it was not completed. After talking with the professor about where I stood and what I should best do with the remaining time in the semester, it was agreed that with all of the footage already captured in place I did not have to travel to the museum itself and capture additional footage. I would then use all of the available footage and then produce a video from that.

First Meeting

I first met with my professor early in the semester to talk about the conditions and stipulations involved in being part of service learning with this course. It was agreed that I would make a video about the museum of printing, and I would decide which way I wanted to go forward with in producing the video.

Service Learning Expectations

The overview of my goals within this project was to make a video showcasing the Museum of Printing in North Andover, Massachusetts. The scope of the video was to present the museum in an attractive manner in order for them to gain more people there. My goal was similar in nature to a cross between commercial and an organizational overview.
