ONW 2000 in 1

Overview

The class was given a challenge to create a jouralism story from one of our classmates. For my group we picked Brooke Cunningham who passed out at homecoming pictures. We also decided to interview her and her date Alex Pauli. We also had to shot b-roll to incorporate in the piece during the voiceovers. After collecting all the shots and voiceovers I began to edit the video.

Filming 

Before filming we wrote questions to ask Brooke and Alex. During the filming we wanted to take advantage of the natural light in the school for the interviews. For the interviews we decided to mike Brooke to make her audio clear and easy to understand. We also didn't tell them the questions before to get a natural responds so it doesn't look forced. When filming the b-roll we shot close ups and wide shots to have a variety. 

Editing Process

For editing I began with a shot of the school to get an establishing shot than followed up with a close up with Brooke to get the variety. During the b-roll I made a voiceover to go over the it. For the voiceover I wanted to lead the story but don't steal their thunder. I had to make the voiceover make sense for Alex's and Brooke's answers. I also background music which is quite because I didn't want it to be so loud you couldn't here their answers.
