My Year in GCT



Throughout the entire year I learned many different skills. I learned how to use photoshop and all the cool things that you can do in photoshop. This year, I also learned a lot of different types of shots that you can take with a camera rather than always taking the same old boring landscape or portrait pictures.I learned all the different settings in the camera like how to use shutter speed, aperture and manual mode. While learning about all the settings in a camera, I learned that the longer the time in shutter speed, the more light

Reflection:
To be honest, I had a lot of fun in GCT this year, it's one of my favorite classes. I learned a lot of things that I could use in the future and I made new friends. If it weren't for this class I wouldn't know how to use the camera properly and know the different settings. One thing I really enjoyed doing in this class was taking pictures, like when we went to the skate park and the fall walk. Because of this course I realized that I'm actually interested in taking pictures :) Another thing that I had fun doing was the stop motion, before I always wonder how they do the motion stop and how much effort it takes to make one and now I can proudly say that I made one! I'm also thankful of this class because I finally learned how to use the Mac and make movies in iMovie. I'm really glad that I was chosen to be in this course because all of the things I learned will be useful in the future. Yes, there was a lot of struggles too but it was all worth it in the end. Also, thank you Mr. Harbeck for making it a fun and enjoyable class :)

Roselle's Year in GCT

This year i love this class.... the fact that we get to use cameras and use our phones in class were awesome :) It's one of my favorite classes this year. It was really fun!! We got to work on the yearbook and videos for important occasions. It was nice to explore and try the new things we did in GCT this year. I've always wanted how to use iMovie and if it weren't for this class, I couldn't have learned to use it. It was cool to try using a Mac because ive never used one. Also the I have a dream presentation was very useful and helpful for me because now i know how to create nice presentations with different styles. This year was really fast. There were so many opportunities with different ares like photography, video editing, and etc. Anyways I had fun in this class. :)

Reflection:
This year in GCT I learned a lot more than I thought I would. First of all, I learned how to use a camera properly. I learned how to appreciate the different options you have and how to take pictures like the pros do (although I am still very far from a pro). After learning how to take amazing photos, even though it seems impossible, I learned how to make photos even more amazing using photo shop. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to taking plain old photos, no matter where my future takes me. Another thing I learned was how to use a mac and imovie. I never realized how much you could do with imovie until this course showed me. Lastly I learned how to make powerpoint presentations interesting, which for me, is a big thing. I'm really glad I picked this course because I now have a better perspective on how big media can change the way you look at things. The whole entire year it wasn't like other courses, we all learned from each other and got things done as one great team. It was a really great, fun and memorable year, so thank you. :-)

Emerald's Year in GCT









To say the least, GCT was probably one of my favourite classes this year. I loved the fact that this class took place inside a classroom, and sometimes it was outside when we went on our little walks and field trips where we could put what we learned into use. I could definitely see myself using a lot of the things I learned in the future, like using typography when making a presentation to make important points stand out. Before I took this class, I barely knew anything about cameras but I always thought that the idea of taking pictures and making them look better using Photoshop was exciting. I also learned how to take better photos with the right settings and adjustments, even the different angles photos could be taken at. And if I didn't like the way they turned out I could always use an editing program or website to do something different. What I liked the most was that almost all the time, we were free to do what we wanted in terms of making things look great. I'll definitely miss this class, and the unique ways Mr. Harbeck taught us to do thingsヾ(●⌒∇⌒●)ノ


Faith's Year in GCT







As this year is quickly coming to an end, looking back to the beginning of the year only seems fair. I've gained skills and knowledge that I wouldn't have expected I would be decent at. Taking my own pictures and having people comment on it has allowed me to work with it and make them better. Learning how to use Photoshop Elements and editing our photos was one of my favorites because we could play with it and make it our own and as unique as possible. When the video part of the year came in, I wasn't as excited but it proved to be very entertaining (stressful and slightly irritating at times, no doubt) and fun enough to do and film the things. The athletic video was pretty fun to make because we used almost everything like picture in picture and snap to beat. This class was my first choice last year and I am eternally grateful that I got to spend my last year doing things that flourished my creative side.
