Comm461:Cultural Events Blog


For my cultural assignment I visited a lot of shows and gathering on Shepherd University campus. Four out of the 5 events were Shepherd University based. However, I left Shepherdstown for the fifth event which was a movie called
Paranormal activity 4, which was pretty sucky because the sequel was being dragged on too long and it got played out. The other four events were a pianist concert by Caroline Hong which I enjoy because I love music and also because she did a good job. I also saw an alumni exhibition in the frank center and it was a bit interest but I think the artist which was is Shepherd University grad, did not excite me too much with her comic artwork. Nevertheless it was interesting. I also saw a video about recycling in Reynolds Hall, which I enjoyed because I am totally pro-recycling. I went to a concert in the frank center consisting of the Shepherd University Men’s Choir, Women’s Camerata, Vocal Jazz Octet, and the Chamber Singer. I enjoyed that concert because it was versified and unique.

Comm461: Blog12: Capstone-Commercial:Poster Session

The poster session was basically like a rollercoaster ride. I was nervous about presenting my presentation. I thought that there were going to be more people there so i was anxious and jitter all week but when i got there i saw a very small portion of what i expected. Long story short i was nervous for nothing. However, i did enjoy the fact we had any audience at all. I got to share my interest as well as learn more about the interest of my peers. I also got to learn how to go about creating the projects of my classmates. I learned how simple it is to to create a high quality website and much time and money is spent into it. I also learn how rewarding it is to do something you actually feel passionate about instead of trying to cut corners and doing what you think is easy. Coming into this capstone i was nervous about creating something that was we label as "professional" because i didn’t feel comfortable taking that responsibility of professionally running my own advertising production company, so i tried to do was easy and found out it was harder and learn to do what you love. I wish the audience at the poster session were larger so i could spread the word about my advertising ability and commercial producing skills.
