Feature story project

Feature story project

     I was inspired to interview Mr. Johns because of his unique experience at Olathe Northwest. He is a new teacher this year, coming in for Mr. Olson. I wanted to see how Mr. Johns was different and how he was changing things. I was pleased to find him redesigning his room and adding lights to the walls. He wanted to create an interesting room and get rid of many of the tables to open the room.
     I liked writing this news story because I learned to deal with mistakes and still making a full story. My group, while filming the actual interview, did not get any audio. This forced me to write a voice over through the entire video. While its not how I envisioned the project, I thought it turned out good because of the shots we got and my writing.
     Adding to that, a skill I need to work on is working with the camera. Also making sure my groups get audio. I can always improve my editing and the quality of voice over audio in my videos. I would keep lots of the shots the same as I thought I got a good variety of long shots to close up shots.
     In conclusion, I will improve in my next video while still using the writing techniques I learned from this project. I will also get audio and double check all my work. Some shots will be better and I will use the 6 shots system as that is an important part of film making.

Interview Project

    The story my group wanted to convey in this assignment was Alex Paulis point of view on school soccer. In my video, I personally made a story of how Alex started playing soccer and where he is now. I then talked about the future of soccer for not only Alex, but the whole team.     In pre-production, my group wrote a list of 20 questions to ask Alex. This was harder than thought to be. We then set up a date to meet with Alex and interviewed him, asking all of the questions, knowing some of his answers would be longer than others. When all the film of Alex was taken, we turned to footage of the soccer team playing for b-roll. After I had all the film, I had to write a voice over leading into all of Alex's answers to the questions we asked him. I wrote the opening to the interview and an end, so there would be a clear beginning, middle, and end. After that it was just editing, making sure I got a variety of shots in my interview.     My role in this p...

Semester reflection

Starting the year This year started with my self portrait video. I put a lot of effort into this video and I feel it came out as good as I wanted it to be. This was a good start to the year for me and the videos that followed only paralleled this. Working in groups has helped with my other projects also, getting multiple point of views. Progression of the year I feel I have improved throughout the year with editing and filming. I have learned a surplus things to think about when taking shots for a video. I learned to think about the 6 shot system to create variety in my work. I was able to practice my editing skills with every video I made. End of the year By the end of the year, I feel that I have learned valuable tips on how to create news stories and put together interviews. Not only have I gotten better at creating stories, but I have improved in question making, filming, and editing everything together to create an interesting an informative video. With that, I have al...
