Elsa Rhae

ay 

This is a story over an ONW alumni, Elsa Rhae, who now has a very successful youtube channel and creates stage makeup looks. We did this story because Dr. Poss and Mr. Allam wanted to see us do a story over an ecomm alumni. We spent a day emailing and setting up a time to meet with Elsa. We took and then we took half a day to interview and the other half to edit, we then took another day to finish editing. The outcome of this story was really good and I'm really proud of it. I learned again how to use the quicktime screen recording.

Black Friday/ Cyber Monday

This package is a story over black Friday and cyber Monday. I made this video because we did a christmas special on ONW now and this was included. We shot the footage of black Friday on black Friday and we took a separate day to edit and film the interview. The outcome of this story was decent but I think it was entertaining. I learned how to use quicktime to do a screen recording.

Egg Drop

This package is a story of the egg drop competition that the science scholars held. We did this package because Ms. Curry the head of science scholars asked us if we could make a promo for it and put it on the show. The outcome of this video was not my best work simply because we filmed and edited the whole video after school in a total of 4 hours. I learned that b- roll is super important and you need a lot of it to make your story look complete.

Volleyball ONW vs Sumner

This video is a recap of the volleyball game against Sumner. I helped film this with one of my classmates in SID. This took around an hour and a half. The package turned out well and my footage looked good. I learned that to get the best shots you need to really get in there.

Writing Center Personal Blog Post

  The scope of this video was to inform the students of Olathe Northwest that there is a new writing center during seminar 2. The pre-production involved writing 21 questions to ask the students and staff I interviewed . I also had to contact Ms. Skogland and Mrs. Kazmier to get more information over the writing center, and I had to schedule a time to film and interview students working in the writing center. During seminar 2 I went down to Ms. Skogland's room and filmed the tutors and students who needed writing help. After I filmed B-Roll I went into the hallway and interviewed 2 students and Ms. Skogland. Post-production involved script writing, filming voice overs, and putting clips together in Final Cut. 

    I should have used a tripod when i filmed B-Roll. I  also should have filmed the interviews sitting down in the writing center. I would have edited the same way because I varied up the 6 shot sequence throughout the video. To enhance my next project I will use a trip-pod and find better lightening for the interviews. 

Professional Blog Post

The Today show filmed this news package to show American citizens how landlords are struggling to keep their residents online packages during this holiday season. To start this news package Gabe Gutierrez opened it up by using a standup of him standing in a room of packages. The video then went into the news package starting with a voice over. One of my favorite parts of this package was the animation that showed how online shopping has increased boxes delivered to apartments by 50% which causes 10 minutes of lost productivity for their workers, and that time adds up to more than 3 million dollars a year. I should add in different animations in my work because it varies up the shots viewers see and captures their attention. I learned why and how to use stand ups in news packages earlier in the year, and I should apply more stand-ups into my news packages. Gutierrez also used the six shot sequence, however he had a lot more zooming and panning that made the shots more interesting. I think the last interview piece that was filmed could have been set up better. There is a lot of head space above the women head because Gabe Gutierrez is a lot taller, so a good solution would be to sit both of them down. Overall I believe watching different news packages will help me develop videography skills and give me ideas for future packages. Source Cited: Gutierrez, Gabe.

Barbara Walters Most Interesting People

Summary

This video was about the "10 most interesting people", with the host Barbara Walters. It began talking about each person's background, also went on to more personal projects associated with that person. Finally, it would move on to more of their accomplishments and how they achieved those things. 

The stories were told about other people's lives. It was set up in an interview form, with the host asking questions, and also clips and pictures from that person's past. 

Application

I like how the interviews were set up, and how the clips used helped tell the story of how that person rose to fame. I think I could apply the interview set up to my own work, it seemed to work very well and it was an effective way to help tell the story. I have already learned how to set up a story like this, and also know how to do the voiceovers that were used throughout some of the pictures and videos to describe what was going on. 

Overall

I think that the producers did a very good job telling the stories over the different people's lives, and successfully showed why these people deserved to be on the "Top 10 Most Interesting People" list. I think they could've gone even more in depth in telling people's stories, each person I think could've been analyzed more, to show even more of the things that they had accomplished. Overall, I didn't really agree with who was on the list of Top 10 people, because some of them weren't that interesting, and didn't really deserve to have made that list. But they did a good job telling the story of how those people rose to success.
