• USF Honors College Media & Marketing Content Creator

  • May 2018 - May 2019

  As a student of the Honors College, one requisite in order to graduate as part of the Honors College is to do a Capstone Course or a Thesis project. One of my Honors College professors, Dr. Benjamin Young came up with the idea to revamp the content of the Honors College Social Media platforms with fresh content. As a journalist and reporter, Dr. Young was my mentor throughout this process and I created 2 different videos that depict what being part of the Honors College at USF is all about and an explanation of the obligatory introductory course every honors College student has to take: Acquisition of Knowledge. For each video I wrote a script, interviewed more than 10 faculty members, shot everything using a Canon T5i Digital Camera, a Rode VideoMic GO Shotgun Microphone, and a Saramonic Wireless Microphone Kit, and edited all the content using Adobe Premiere Pro 2019. I hope you enjoy the videos! Show less
