Emiliano De La Mora : Profile Project Progress

Our project is called "Elder Words of Wisdom" and we decided to do the project on my soccer coach, Gino Quintana. The project is about interviewing a an elder that tells great stories or that is always giving you great tips for later on in life. I think we chose to do this project on Gino because when he was in school he kept up with his studies and graduated with a 4.3 GPA while playing a high level of soccer and that is a good example to all sport players that it's possible to have good grades while playing sports. We had to go to different places to get the footage we needed. We went to Gino's house to do the interview and we took the b-roll footage at a soccer field.

When filming b-roll it's very important to make sure that what you are filming matches what the interviewee is saying or that the visuals flow well with what the interviewee is saying. Also you can never have too much b-roll so film a lot so you have something to work with when editing. The purpose of B-roll is basically to make your story more interesting by showing what interviewee is saying with visuals.Voice-overs help us get the reader's attention in the beginning of the video and can also provide a summary of the story.

My team and I need to work better on our communication. Communication is key in working in a team and without it we will not finish this project on time. We also need to split up the work evenly so we get it done faster and everybody cooperates with something. This is a good way for everybody to cooperate and help out in the team.

Based on the critiques we need to improve our interview and story. We went out to reshoot the interview and get a better story for our video. The interview needed to focus more on what the story is about and when we reshot the interview in came out much better and flow better.
