Package #3 Reflection





1. The scope of this project was to find out what homecoming was like when ONW teachers were in high  school. We also found out what their experience was like being on the homecoming court and how it has changed.



2. To start this project we planned a certain angle to base the package off of. We then found out what teachers were in the homecoming court and went to ask them if they would be interested in an interview and to bring in pictures for a video. After getting the interviews, b-roll, and pictures we then started editing all of the clips and put together the package.



3. Along the way I learned how to use Ken Burns and the scanner to put pictures in the video. I learned how to put audio over a photo and balance it.  As far as collaborating I learned how to work well with my partner to get the video done in time, I also learned that some subjects will be more reliable then others.



4. If I was doing this project again I would make sure the teachers were planning on bringing pictures before doing their interview and then not being able using it. I would also add more photos and b-roll.



5. I would do the interviews and story idea the same because I thought it was a good angle and good interview questions.



6. I will use my experience of editing and filming to enhance my next project.



7. Overall I thought this package turned out well and would not change too much if I did it again.

Package #2- Reflection







I think this package went well overall, we did a good job of getting shots and making a sequence. We also did well on setting up the interview and asking interesting questions to our subject.



Something we could improve on would be white balancing the color correctly before we shoot and also having a variety of different shots, such as more in the classroom rather than just the gym.

BYOD





Reflection on BYOD package



1. On this project I think that we did a good job of sequencing and getting shots. We also did well on our interviews and the questions we asked. Overall I think that we made a good package.



2. From doing this project I learned how to get a sequence for a video and edit it, I also learned how to color balance better than I did before which helped to enhance the colors in the video.



3. If I did this project again I would hold the camera more steady and keep all audio balanced.
