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.

Very good package! Great story idea, very interesting! I know for this package b roll was probably challenging, but good job getting creative and recording the Homecoming voting at ONW. You even used to 6 shot system by getting a close up of someone writing on the voting ballot. I also enjoyed looking at the pictures of the teachers who were nominated for Homecoming King and Queen.
ReplyDeleteThe voice over was written very well and also recorded well. The entire set up of the interviews were good with ideal lighting.
I think that the first two sound bites of Mrs. Dawson and Mr. McRoberts were a little repetitive because they kind of said the same thing. I think that maybe you could've cut one of them down so it didn't seem like they were repeating each other.
Overall I thought it was a very well put together story. I also think that it was very interesting not only for me, but for the student body to see which teachers were on the homecoming court when they were in high school. Good job!
