Student Teachers

In this video we went out to find the view of student teachers at Olathe Northwest we filmed 3 different student teachers all in different departments with different teachers to find out what they liked best and their challenges.

We typed up questions for the interview first, then we went to go ask them when they would be available to be interviewed we took B-roll before we interviewed. we know we wanted to do a 3 person feature in the video with the same topic student teachers. they are all evenly represented in the video.

I learned along the way that its hard to be able to go with everyones schedules and figure out a time to interview and also get b-roll because they all have different hours.

 If i could do this video again i would interview the teachers that are hosting the student teachers because they have an impact on them and how they teach they also know a lot about them which would be benifitial for the video.

I would do the same thing by doing 3 different teachers or even more i think it gets better the more teachers you get because they all have different view and i think that is a vital part of a good video!

to maybe get more than one person and maybe have a good interview make sure everything is good sound lighting position of the person being interviewed

Indi Cowie Videos

My favorite version was the second web one i think it really showed how she connected with her family and also had an amazing passion for her sport it also showed un like all of the other ones that she also still plays soccer and thrives.

 Shows how much she loves what she does, shows her favorite moves, tell us that she is the only women to even do those tricks.

The difference between these videos is two of them showed her family and one showed how close she was to her family, and only one told us she was planning on going to the University of North Carolina to play soccer.

The TV version talking and told her story the whole time and the web version let her tell the story. The TV version shows her publicity side not only what tricks she likes where she has been to show the world what she's got.

I would emulate the different high and low shots the really close up interview the talking with her family to see there opinion on her whole thing. I would go mostly with the web version because it really demonstrates her much better.

First annual HC parade

Homecoming Parade

I decided to make a package over the parade because we have never had a Homecoming parade at ONW. We made the video so that people could have an over view of the whole event.

We decided it would be the best if we had 2 or 3 cameras and we would record all of the clubs and sports teams with different angles and locations. we interviewed random students and teachers from PRT middle school, Meadow lane elementary, and ONW. Our story board wasn't set and stone we filmed and put all of the clips together in a video summarizing the whole event. we favorited our favorite clips and arranged them by floats and clubs we added some interviews and clips of the crowd to show the atmosphere during the parade. 

I learned that even if you have like 3 hours of clips and you need it under 2 minutes long you have to make sure everything gets in there that needs to be apart of the video to correctly summarize the event. Collaboration was a big part of his project we had 3 different cameras going around the parade we had to move withe the parade but still get every float and have different angles for each of the cameras we had 3 people working on the video for the first 30 seconds of the video and it ended up being just me that had to have the deadline accomplished I met the deadline after hours of work.

I would have one person work on the whole video editing part because with too many ideas it gets too messy and takes to long to actually put the video together because only one person can actually use the computer the rest of the people are just there sharing there ideas and it gets too over whelming.

I would have the 3 or even more cameras out there because that really had a positive impact on the video some people got some really good angles of things others missed. I think it like we covered the whole parade because we were all set in different places and it made it very hard to miss anything. 

Have several different camera angles and make sure you actually have more than enough for your video just incase the shots didn't match up, or the lighting was off, Etc...

I thought this project was a big success over all the video turned out great and we managed to get every club and sport on the parade we also got clips from all the schools which really put the video together. 

The idea from this video came from Mr. Allam our video teacher. 

I think the best thing about our video package was the interviews we got alot of good answers from the students and we had very good lighting for 2/3 interviews. We had alot of great b-roll it really does make the package easier because we had more video to pick from and we could make it just how we wanted.

I would do better lower thirds so it explains the package more i also would want to get better lighting in every shot to make it the best it can be. 

 Reflection 

9/4

• What went well with my project was the editing sean and i edited together and after only a little bit of shots we pulled it on to a video and it ended up very well i also think the b roll was great for our project it helped us build a sequence of events!
• I learned new and better ways to interview how to position the camera and to do so that it looks really good to the viewers. I also learned what is expected of this year how we are going to do videos this year and i think it will make ONW NOW better over all. 
• I would do better interviews next time get a lot more variety of b roll so i either don't repeat myself in the video or have more options. I will find better stories and things people want to know about. 

My youtube link for the video:

One personal goal:

I hope to gain the ability to work with more people through technology and get better at editing and better at making video stories. i also would like to get better on my camera work shots and angles and the way i put them together in a good project. i hope to accomplish this by being very interactive in all things i do this year.

Goal for the Convergence class:

During this school year in e-communictaion i hope to get closer to the people around me by making and helping each other projects. I hope to make ONW Now better for everyone during this school year with help from my peers. I will do all of this by contribution the set and getting closer to the people around me to help with projects and exc.

Goal for myself in Convergence:

I want to make my videos and projects better i want to get involved i other strands of ecomm and help make all strands as good as they can be with each others help. i hope to get better at an editer and as an anchor which i mainly want to be focused on this year i can do these things by practicing making outside projects and practicing my lines outside of class to better how i contribute to the ONW Now class of 2014-2015
