Personal Reflection


This project was about interviewing someone with the purpose to know about them. This project is to help us prepare and practice for our upcoming project "Elder words of Wisdom". This project was a good practice run because it gave us experience on interviewing people and learning the different techniques and skills. It also gave us a feel of turning in your media on time and the pressure you feel. Here are a few techniques and skills I learned. 


We learned quite a few skills that helped us finish this project on time. For example, communication is important skill to have when you are working with a team because if there is miscommunication you will not get your work done on time. Another skill is to be able to split the work in between your team to be able to finish everything faster and efficiently. A good technique we learned was placing the interviewee in a rule of thirds position and not have a very profiled shot. Also when doing the B-roll the sequencing has to be 5 seconds max.


I took a lot from this experience and I can definitely get better. A few things I need to work on is my editing with the audio and sequencing. Also at one point my team was not communicating well so that's something we can work on. But overall we did a good job and we turned it in by the deadline. I think for our video of "Elder words of Wisdom" is going to be much better thanks to this practice story project.
