Communication majors who attend South Carolina State have to take the practicum/senior project course to graduate from the program. I recently took the course the fall semester that I passed. I earned everything I worked for. There were plenty of hands-on experiences I can take with me into my career. Interviewing was my most difficult challenge because I can become nervous because of everyone's eye are on me. Throughout the process I was able to become comfortable in front of the camera. Check out the interview with Trenton Pyatt!

Reflection of The Practicum
Communication majors who attend South Carolina State have to take the practicum/senior project course to graduate from the program. I recently took the course the fall semester that I passed. I earned everything I worked for. There were plenty of hands-on experiences I can take with me into my career. Interviewing was my most difficult challenge because I can become nervous because of everyone's eye are on me. Throughout the process I was able to become comfortable in front of the camera. Check out the interview with Trenton Pyatt!
A New Investment
Few days after christmas I was finally able to buy myself a camera. The Nikon D5500 was my choice. It has great quality which was a big factor for me buying the camera. I have not thought about getting into photography. I would like to carry my camera to family events and also take pictures for fun. Additionally, I want to add more equipment. I eventually want to buy a tripod, light, another battery, and more lenses. This is a great accomplishment for myself. I felt like a kid opening the gift putting it together and changing the settings to my likings. Being able to take pictures with my phone through the camera was an amazing feeing. This is the beginning of something new. Be on the lookout on my Facebook for amazing videos/pictures.

BC (203) Final Post!
What can I say? Electronic Media Production 2 has been a class about new social media sites and learning how to us blogspot. I have learned how to use a variety of new websites. I have created many new ways to connect with others, including my amazing blog that I am putting together. The blog allows people to get a understanding who I am, what I can do, and what my future plans are.
Twitter- I am very active when it comes to Twitter. I mainly retweet memes about athletes. I love sports, so of course you will see many retweets of Sports Center. I have been involved with Twitter since high school. It allows me to keep up with people from high school. I have approximately 245 followers on twitter.
LinkedIn- LinkedIn strengthens and extends your existing network of trusted contacts. It is a networking tool that helps individuals discover connections within their field. For example, LinkedIn has helped me gain connections with the people i encountered at my last internship. Any of those individuals can help find a job after college. LinkedIn also allows people to rate your work. How talented can you be? Take your professional career to the next level by connecting to others within your field.
Prezi- There are so many different presentation resources out there. None are like Prezi though, a presentation resource, on a mission to reinvent how people share knowledge, tell stories, and inspire their audience. Prezi allows users to zoom-in to the pictures. Users can gain connection to the individual telling the story. Prezi is unique resource for many to use. With the new technology Prezi is a great way to engage your audience. From the backgrounds, connecting to your amazing story. It is very unique. The only reason why I would say I did not like prezi because I was so use to using the original presentation resource. I have made several presentations using prezi check me out.
Green Screen- Out of all the places I wanted to be, I wanted to be in Africa, next to a lion. Why? That is a great question. A question that ask myself several times. Animals have always captured my attention. I watched several documentaries on lions. Learning about how they live. I truly plan to take a tour in the wild. By the way, Africa is a beautiful place anyways. Why not? I Took a picture of myself acting scared to pet the walking lion. I then sent those pictures to my email to complete the next task. Adobe Premiere allowed me to change the green screen with the lion in the background. "Don't eat me" was my caption that I first thought of. Lions are very smart animals do not be fooled by them.
Kizoa - An easy way to create a collage of photos for any assignment or you just want to create movie with photos of your family, Kizoa is the way to go. It is simple to use compared to today's other software. Never thought I would ever use Kizoa until my professor assigned the last assignment. It was pretty dope to use the different effects, animations, and transitions phase. I did not like the music selection. I could never find a way to import my own music.

Feature story- Usually when I am assigned a feature story I try to write it on someone I know. This time I wrote it one a female named Kiara Brown- Simmons. I enjoy writing stories on individuals that have something go from them.
Closing- Thank you Mr. Harwood! I enjoyed Electronic Media Production 2 because it taught me how to use the internet more efficiently. Especially this blog. I plan to continue to use this blog to post on the amazing things that occur in my life. If I didn't take anything from you class that means I did not apply myself. Trust me I did apply myself. I learned how to use different websites. I can say LinkedIn is something that will help in the long run. Especially when looking for a job after school or if I want to move to any other state to continue my career somewhere else in the Untied States. I can use this blog to show evidence that I did learn how to use the green screen effect for Adobe Premiere. Knowing that is amazing software that many companies use. I do not think you should change anything about the course. If anyone is as interested writing on blogs, filling in others about what is going, they should enjoy it. Continue the great work Mr.Harwood

Travel Spots
Prezi is a storytelling software using a slide-based presentation. Prezi presentations feature a map-like overview that lets users pan between topics and also zooms in. This specific software is used as practically a story teller tool for presenting any information you desire to. I would like to say I like powerpoint better than Prezi because I like the more generic way of creating a presentation. Click on the first link to see my prezi my Top Ten Travel Spots.

I am back with new opportunity to learn more. I took a picture of myself in the green room and put myself wherever I wanted to be.
(Lions are one of my favorite animals)
I used Adobe pro application to use the amazing effects. I have always wanted to visit the wild life to see how lions live. It is actually an amazing feeling to think I was really about to touch a lion. This project is different. I have never did an experiment like this before. I plan to get better with more experience. Next place I will be is Dallas Cowboys stadium.

" Who I Am"
Hello, I am a senior broadcasting major from Atlanta, GA. My name is Isaiah Hughes with knowledge to give and learn more about communications. After graduation I plan to began to work within a communications office. I eventually would like to be on a movie or TV show production team. Recently during the summer I had the opportunity to work with a production team where I learned more about cameras that I have never used before. Many may not know, but I am student-athlete at South Carolina State University. I love the game of football! Hopefully through my blog you will learn more about me and my passion for communications.
Pintrest is a network that allows users to discover new interest. Before you start using Pinterest be sure to explore it. Learn who created it and why. Pinterest was found by Evan Sharp, Ben Silberman, and Paul Sciarra. They official launched their website 6 years ago, March 2010. Pinterest allows individuals to show who you are, what you do, and why other users should follow you. It will also give an opportunity for users to create boards pertaining to anything he or she would like. Users can create boards for the new found business that are up and coming. When creating a board think outside the box or of an idea that many users would be attracted to. Many individuals love sports, fashion, and outdoor activities. Three boards I chose were NFL, animals, and fancy cars. These three boards are very interesting to me because i am student athlete who loves football. I also love animals I currently own two dogs who live with my parents momentarily. Last but not least, cars are an interest that is growing on me. Eventually I would like a fancy car like an Audi or Lamborghini.

Tweet this, tweet that, and retweet this. Welcome to Twitter! Twitter is a site many use to get their opinions out about politics, sports, movies and TV shows. When tweeting, Twitter will only allow so many characters to be typed (140). It is a exllecent way to create your own view on issues. Many may talk about their personal issues and want no response back. There are several famous individuals who are on twitter. Twitter is very popular and is used right now as I speak. It became a part of everyday life once Twitter launched its app for cell phones. Videos are posted through phones to the site. There are members who tweet about any and everything. I mainly tweet and retweet about sports and sometimes TV shows. Overall, Twitter is a important way of life of today's society and it shows in classrooms, concerts, sporting events, etc.
