Feature Story Number 2
Pre Production
The first thing did as a group was decide who we wanted to interview. We decided to interview LyLena Estabine since she is our age and has already written three different books. After we figured that out we thought we would interview her freshman English teacher as well to add to the story. We created one storyboard which planned out where we were going to shoot. Then we came up with our twenty-one interview questions which were fairly easy to come up with since she has done a lot in life. We also planned out which days we were going to film and edit.
Production
I was the director and was in charge of the camera. It was really difficult to film because we did not have audio for awhile and we could not figure out how to get audio. So he had to enlist the help of Mr.Cooper and we just did not have the mic plugged into the right place. So we were a day behind because it took us an entire class period to figure out our technical issues. When we filmed the whole thing was also out of focus to the interview was just ever so slightly blurry. During the production we used our Technical skills to try and problem solve, we used collaboration as well to try and save our problem, and we used project management to help us when we were a day behind our schedule. I used leadership tp get the group focused and on track because we would constantly get off topic and we all used communication se we could get what we needed to do our part in the project.
Post Production and Editing
Editing this was very simple but there was one problem, we did not have any B-Roll. Since it was just a book there was not much we could even do for b-roll other than showing pictures of her signing books and pictures of the book itself. The B-roll was also sent to us late because LyLena did not have access to them right away. If I were to re-do this project I would change the background and I would try and film in a much more quiet environment. I would choose the same team if I were to do this again because I think we all work really well and efficiently together. Overall I think the project was okay, next time I. will try a little harder when it comes to editing because I feel as if I could have helped edit more.
