Señora Walsh From Peru

My partner and I Samantha planned to make this video about Señora Walsh's transition in to america and how Walsh  teaches her styles from Peru in to her daily teaching schedule but it didn't quiet work out that way she gave us way better answers than we expected so Samantha and I made the video around the great and interesting things she said I think the video turned out great considering we took a whole different scope in the middle of the project!

We took a lot of footage of her in class interacting with her students and her teaching then we took a good 30 minutes interviewing her considering some of that time was prep for the interview (setting up audio and setting up the camera). Once we got done with our interview we came back and combined the footage of her teacher and cut out all of her good answers and made the video in about 2 or 3 hours. 

I learned even if you have a scope of a project after you get all the footage it might change and it might take a turn for the best which is good I think its also good that we had enough time to change was so quick we wiped the story up pretty fast considering.  

If I could change anything about how I developed the video I would interview one of her students and see how her teaching is and how it has effected her or his spanish. Then maybe another spanish teacher from america and have her talk about Señora Walsh. I think having all those people say those nice things about her would be a great thing for the story.

I would do the setting of the interview in the same place, I would pretty much do everything the same I liked what we did with the project I thought it worked well with the project. Im proud of the video we made and i wouldn't want to change much I liked all of it. 

I would draw that never just stick to your first ideas about the story, if you find more things in the process of the video add it will make the video better. Overall I think this was a good video and glad we chose this subject.

Good deads pay off

At now we have Prop Box Nominees which is people who do good things for other people and someone notices it they are nominated and we got the top nominees in an interview and asks them what they did to get nominated and why they thought they needed to do the right thing. 

We went to go to ask the kids when we could interview them and we interviewed them individually and asked them all the same questions so that they can match up to make the video better. we made sure to interview in places that would make the light good and help the video with visual aid. 

This month we started doing a new layout to make the prop box videos better and to really have a visually pleasing video. It was little harder to put together, we figured it out. It was one of the best ones in my opinion because it was visually pleasing. 

I could have interviewed them in the same place so it looked more put together gotten b-roll of them talking with friends or in class doing their work. B-roll is just footage of the subject that you can incorporate in to the interview and pretty much make the video off of the b-roll. 

I liked how we changes the look of the video! I think it really made it better over all we had clips of all the nominees at the beginning and then we went along with each of their beginnings, middle, and ends of their stories. 

Everything can be better i thought that the videos before this were good but this is way better i learned to never stop pushing and keep striving to what could come out of it. Overall i enjoyed the project and thought it turning out great. 

5 tips for a perfect interview

5 steps to follow for a good Interview 

1: Set up your camera eye level to have your subject that you are interviewing.

2:Hold a sheet of white paper to the front of your camera it depends on your camera but you should go to menu and there it will say white balance that is what you want to do. 

• Set up your interview by setting up their mic so that the audio is good for your final video ( Tip: make sure if the subject being interviewed doesn't have on a color that matches the mic tell them to put it up their shirt so it is not seen)

3: Set up your camera so that  it doesn't cut off their head but is also a medium shot. 

• Keep them on the left or the right of the shot do not put them in the middle you want them to be facing into the empty space that the interviewer is at. 

4: Set up your interview by setting up their mic so that the audio is good for your final video ( Tip: make sure if the subject being interviewed doesn't have on a color that matches the mic tell them to put it up their shirt so it is not seen)

  

5: Make sure that you have well thought out questions and show them the questions so they can get ready for their answers

All of these Tips should be used to make a great interview enjoy!

6 Shot system

The purpose of the 6 shot system is to establish the setting and what the subject is doing and to also get some angles that are pleasing to the viewers 

The 6 shots are:

Extra wide: a shot that has whole object of interest in it plus an establishing shot to show where the scene takes place.

Wide: A closer shot of the full object to see what is the object doing or what is it. 

Medium: shot above the waist if its a person

Over the shoulder: To get a look like its almost them looking at it not the camera also to show what is happening with their hands or what they are doing 

Close up of hands: to establish after the OTS to show the audience what is happening and to also give an sequence event. 

Close up of face: To show the persons emotion of what they are doing. 

 A big rule for doing this is you can not go over 180 degrees which means if you start at the front of her you can only go to 180 degrees of her body either right i=or left if you do more than 180 like 360 it confuses the viewer and they don't know whats going on.

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.
