ALD 6.0 - Practice Story

For our profile story project, we chose our interviewee with a random "person selector" and we did it twice, later landing on the same person which was Derek. For settling what roles were assigned to who we did the process of elimination. Derek couldn't be the interviewer so he became the produce, interviewee and the writer. Then Michael wanted to say "This is Michael for Warrior News Network" so we decided to make him the editor, reporter, and voiceover. Later leaving the director, camera, and audio to me. A day after we decided roles we changed the whole profile story and directed it towards Michael and him playing tennis also on how it changed him for the better. This decision helped us because we chose to do a more grabbing story. We also added another teammate to our team, Jason. His addition to the team really adds to the creativity and brainstorming for the B-Roll. There was a lot that changed at the beginning of our first profile story, but we compromised and worked together as much as we could to produce our vision of the video.

During production, safety is a number one priority because making sure everyone can produce a nice shot with the highest of caution will benefit not just the person, but the whole team. Three safety concerns my team should be aware of while filming is to keep watch on surrounding areas when moving and not look through just the camera to get that perfect shot, do risk assessments, including looking around the area to see if something could go wrong and come up with ways to avoid that and still get a good shot, and lastly using the strap which isn't less important than the other safety concerns. Using the strap will always stop the risk of a dropped camera. Our results came out great. Looking at our results I agree with what we need to work on and I will be aware of it in our next project. The three largest words for improvement is nat sounds, exposure and cut on movement.The "nat sounds" or natural sounds could have improved and to do so we could have added a ball hitting the racket to match the action. To improve the exposure I could have move the tripod and keep checking the shot. We could have improved our cut on movement by having a different sequence of shots. To create a more compelling story visually we would be keeping the sequencing of wide, medium, and close. Written wise we would use a thesaurus to see which words to be replace or be used.
