Scope
This is a story on the 2016 Raven Pride Marching Band and their field show Turandot as well as an award won by the director of the ONW Band for their fantastic performance.Process
The process started with Mr. Davis winning an award for Outstanding Young Band Director of the Northeast District of Kansas and I decided to do a story about the band and what it takes to be in the marching band. I wanted to do a story on just Mr. Davis but I thought why not do a mid-season story on the band and their season. When I started to prepare to do this story I couldn't film the footage because I am in the marching band, so somebody else was willing to film for me and I was very appreciative of that. When I came to edit, I was stuck because writing the voice-overs was very hard to do especially when I didn't know how to start it. When it came down to critiquing my video I didn't realize my audio level was not even, so I had to go back and fix later.
What I learned/What can I do better
What I learned was to make sure audio is consistently level and even as well as be more articulate on my voice overs and make sure to be careful of editing the background music. What I would do differently is make sure I am framing the interviewee more in the frame and make his shoulders are both in the shot. Maybe getting interviews with students. I was very proud of my sequencing and timing as I thought that went very well.
Experience/Conclusion
This was a good experience for me because I learned what it was really like to do a news story mostly by myself and I know what to expect for next time and plan on what I am going to do before hand as well as being more flexible if something doesn't go my way. I hope to get better each and every day and keep moving forward.
