On April 27 student projects from professor Jacobos’ broadcasting classes were to be previewed in the first ever Broadcast and Cinema Student Showcase. With more than a full house, expectations were set high, and the mood of the room was full of excitement.
The event started smoothly with a short explanation from Jacobo about the projects being presented. The best student videos were chosen to be presented in the showcase.
Some of the students included Barbra Church, Joseph Martinez, April Escamilla, Jenna Conrad, and many more. The videos that were included in the showcase were Auditory Interpretation of Outer Space, Intonation of Animated Words, Sound Editing Puzzle, and Portrait of Location.
A half an hour into watching the student projects, the presentation took an unexpected turn for the worse. Videos were skipping, and the sound had stopped working. Jacobo switched the computers and hoped to regain a smooth presentation from there, but the event was still being delayed as some of the projects were still not able to be viewed, and soon after, campus police were calling.
With campus police on the phone, when all was said and done, a half an hour was lost and not all the projects were able to be viewed. Some of the projects that were not able to be presented included “How to Forget Him” by April Escamilla, “To Kill a Brother” by Justin Peters, Crystal Cortez, and Jenna Conrad, as well as some others.
The last couple of projects were viewed and then everyone was left to go to the reception for food and refreshments. Before exiting to the reception, professor Jacobo apologized for the technical difficulties and explained what was causing the issues to take place. Although there were issues causing some of the projects not to be viewed, attendees found the event to be fun entertaining.
To see more film projects including the ones that were not shown at the event, the Cinema and Television Club will be hosting another showing Friday May 7 at 4 p.m. in CAA 218. Anyone is welcome to attend and bring friends and family to show support for the work students have put into their projects the past semester.
