What I Learned in Multimedia Journalism Class?

I already have few years experience in the field of journalism. When i register for that class, i was thinking that what i am going to learn in this class as i already have experience.
I have 3 years of experience in the print media and almost 3 in the electronic media, but i haven't any experience about making video and editing.
I am interesting in learning of video making, audio recording and editing. This is the reason i select this class.
I learn how to make videos and editing now. And i learn other stuff as well in this class also.
I learn how to make storyboard before working on any story. I never did that before, but once i learn this i realize how much helpful it is. Because when we are doing any story several times we forget some important things, and later we tell our self that we should also cover that angel of the story.
The storyboard is helpful because we have outline of the story already in our hand and then we just need to follow those steps, which is really helpful, and make our story perfect.
Nowadays due to economy issues several media outlet don't afford salary of different specialists. Now they need a journalist who works independently on every task.
It is good for every journalist now to learn all these new skills to work in this competitive field.
I must say that this is not only good useful when we are working for other media outlets, but it is really helpful for our own website or blog.
Now journalism is totally on a new path. Every day we have something new in the market. So we have to be aware of new technology and learn also.
This is what i learn in this multimedia journalism class.
