Profile Project Progress

Zoey, Jaycee, and I interviewed a teacher at Kapa'a Middle School named Mr. Nunn. He was our 6th grade honors English teacher. Mr. Nunn is probably one of the best teachers that have ever taught me English. He made English very fun and easy to learn. That is not the only reasons why we interviewed him. We also interviewed him because he told outstanding stories. He would always tell us crazy stories about how he became a teacher and his life before teaching. That is exactly what out project is about. We interviewed Mr. Nunn in his classroom. Zoey, Jaycee, and I figured that Mr. Nunn would be the most comfortable there.

Besides the interview there is a way more technical part to it. This is including the B-roll, and Voice-Overs. B-Roll takes your video to a whole other level. The B-Roll was pretty easy to film in general. We filmed Mr. Nunn teaching his classes and talking to students. It was a little challenging considering we only went during one period to film so it is all of the same students. Also, it was very challenging to find different shots and angles to take. Not only are you focusing on what shots you have you also have to sequence, and make sure the lens are focused. Now, another technical part of the Profile Project were Voice-Overs. You have to come up with what to say without repeating what the Interviewee says. Also, you need to make sure you are putting personality into your speaking and reading fluently. It is very very hard.

Sometimes I think how can we work better as a team? We could work together better with splitting up all of the group work. Or maybe we can focus on having people put all of their ideas together. Although we did get a lot of things done together. We got our ideas on  the production done super fast. Also an argument never phased us we always ended up agreeing on everything. As an overall group I think we did awesome.

 To improve from good to great we need to make our story flow more. We also need to work on our visuals. Our B-Roll was going through to fast we need to make it longer. Also we need to make Mr. Nunn seem like he is engaged in his teaching not just slouching back. Making it go from good to great would be improving on our Audio would also need to be re done. Maybe we could have them talking slower and not rushing. Also by taking in our suggestions.

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.

All about me!

What's up? Want to know a little more about me? Well here you go!

My name is Kaylee, I would describe myself as wacky, weird, funny, and a clown. When I am not playing sports I am usually goofing off. I love animals especially dogs. At my house I have 5 dogs, 3 love birds, 1 cat, and 3 fishes. My dad's dog is trained in protection and bite work. My mom's dog is trained in search and rescue so is mine, Cool right? My most favorite sport is soccer. I use to play on three teams. I was on two girl teams and one boys team. I have been playing ever since I was little.

Hobbies Hmm... I don't really have much hobbies. I play soccer and usually like to go fishing. What I like to do? I love to make people happy no matter what it takes. I believe that you should smile no matter how hard or how bad life is. Another really cool saying I have heard about is A day without laughter is a day wasted. With me I am always laughing and smiling. Most of my family members say there is never a dull moment with me around. I love hearing that!

People might be wondering What would this goofball (me) want to do when I grow up? When I grow up I want to get a job with google. I want to have a job with computers because I seem to be very good with computers. If that fails I want to become a teacher. I want to be a P.E. teacher for elementary students. I seem to be very good wit younger children. Also I would make a terrific teacher because I love helping people.
