Practice Story Reflection

When I first was teamed up with Zoey and Jaycee I knew we were going to make an awesome video. We had a hard time deciding what we were going to do with the video. At first, we were going to do Kaylee plays soccer. It was already taken though! Then, we were brainstorming our ideas trying to come up with a cool video. Zoey recommended "We should do Kaylee loves sports!". Although, Mr. Sanderl though outside the box he recommended that we do teamwork. Finally, we decided to go with that topic and make a video about teamwork.

After figuring out what we were going to do we started writing our transcript. We were coming up with questions to interview me with. Once we had all of that done it was time to interview. Using to new lavalier microphone and new camera we were able to shoot and awesome interview. Then, we imported the interview on to final cut pro. So far this is going great everyone is getting along, there have been no problems. Next, using headphones we listened to the interview and typed it on to our transcript in google docs. Finally, after that was done we could move on to shooting B-roll. We got a lot of shots of us working together and playing soccer. I talked a lot about soccer in the interview. Shooting the B-roll did not take very long in about two class periods it was done.

Finally, it was time to have a massive editing session. We started editing it final cut pro cutting certain things out of the interview and adding other parts too. Once the interview was done being edited it was time for B-roll. We started editing the B-roll and putting it together with the interview. It was coming along great and we had no problem working together! After finishing the interview and B-roll we needed a  narrator to make the story really connect. Jaycee then started talking into the microphone on the computer and narrated the story. We then did the same exact thing as everything else. We started editing the narration. Finally we put that into our story and it was terrific. The video was really good! Zoey, Jaycee, and I made a really great team. We worked together using teamwork had no arguments, and got things done super fast. This was a really great team.

What could we do better? Honestly I don't know what we could do better. A lot of our things were in an advanced category. Maybe next time we can get clearer audio with less wind. Also, we could make our story have a little more flow and make a lot of sense. Our visuals were pretty good maybe we can get even more visuals. I think audio was basically the most we need to work on. Overall, The video was fantastic the team was fantastic we did an amazing job.
