4 Quadrants


Introduction

Jack is North Carolina resident and a senior at UNCW, seeking his bachelors in Film Studies. Still searching for his 'right' place in the film world, he is interested in finding new ways of connecting both film and music together. He has also found a haven in writing, as he has two publishings with Film Matters and interest in script writing. Jack is now the Marketing Assistant for Visions 6 where he plans to bring his skills to assist with content writing and to make the festival more appealing to audiences.

I signed up for the Visions class because it seemed to be something different than all the other classes offered. I have always been more keen to taking hands-on type courses so this one caught my attention easily. Within the major, I am less interested in working on the production side of things so I was hoping to get a hands-on type class with Visions, that wasn't film production. As a marketing assistant, I feel that I can learn a lot, not just with film festivals but in several promotional and business aspects. I look forward to see how I can use the skills I have now with this job and also excited about learning as much as I can in this department.

The readings and tutorials were very helpful with my personal calendars and organization. I could always use help with my scheduling habits. Only one of the video links in the syllabus worked for the videos for me, which was the google calendar one. I just made this google account so it did help me in becoming more familiar with the interface. Also I can definitely relate to the procrastination reading, as it helped point out several causes that I can relate to.

Welp, thats my first blog!
