Senior Project day 1 MAY 9th

 Today May 9th, I started the interview process for my senior project. As I look to create an admissions video full of interviews with members of the class of 2022, I have had to schedule a hefty quantity of interviews for this week. I enjoyed interviewing Colin Shaver, Brody Chipman, Josh Reed, and Tucker Deyett today because it gave me a good first draft as to where I should be placing my camera and how I should frame my questions differently moving forwards. All 4 interviews I found very interesting as my questions weren't something I had talked about yet with my interviewee's which made for a better look into who each kid is and what they enjoy/enjoyed about proctor. After a conversation with my Mentor Ryan Graumann he proposed the idea that moving forward I should try to interview a broader range of people to get a better understanding of the way proctor has shaped different people from different backgrounds. Ryan also gave me his phone tripod to use moving forward which will definitely assist me on the directorial side of things. I think today posed as a great first day though moving forward there most certainly will be a lot to improve on. Right now I am just continuing to gather raw footage, and plan out my rough draft of the final video. I am greatly excited to further my interviews tomorrow with Brynne Makechknie, Cieron Britton, Aidan Botti, Tate Matte, and Emily Charleston.

Senior project Days 2 May 10th

 Today was very similar to the last, I spent the majority of it scheduling and completing interviews with my fellow peers. I spent the morning researching what camera angle is most commonly used in close up interviews as I struggled to find a solid one yesterday. After watching some interviews on YouTube I found that making my camera more high angled would be the most optimal when it came to seeing the entirety of my interviewees face. later in the afternoon, after arriving on campus, I interviewed cieron and Emily in the art building. I found the art building a perfect place to film as the lighting and the background were very positive bright colors. Filming both interviews with the proctor pond in the background really gave a more upbeat tone to the interview. As my goal of the project is to make a tool for admissions I hope to create a well rounded, good quality piece of work, and today I think was a good second step in doing so. My mentor Ryan offered me some strong advice to b...

Senior project week 2 day 3

 Today May 18th, I traveled to campus to get some more footage of my interviews during their afternoon activities. I spent the majority of the afternoon at the varsity baseball game getting footage of Tucker Deyett, Josh Reed, Tate Matte and Cieron Britton. Both Josh and Cieron gave me answers relating to baseball during our interview so I thought it would make sense to get some clips of them in action. After the game I Headed to the library to export all of my videos from baseball from my phone to my computer and iPad for editing. I spent a while just shortening and editing just clips from baseball to very small sections so I could insert them into my iMovie, along with the audio of Josh and Cieron explaining what makes the baseball team special to them. Currently I have 9 students whose clips I will be using in the final video, despite me wanting to interview a couple more. I think the majority of seniors have now become so deep in their senior project that it is quite difficult ...

Senior project week 2 day 4

 Today May 19th, I stayed home with the intent of sitting down and grinding out the majority of my editing. I spent the majority of the day separating audio from video and finding photos of campus to put over my questions. As I go through my edited footage finding other types of media to thread into the video is important. At this point in my project their is not many exciting things going on, it is mostly editing that is quite laborious. All I can say is that Ryan was not exaggerating when he told me that editing would be 3 times the amount of time as the filming. Luckily today was quite rainy which created a perfect environment for me to sit at my desk and edit video. As senior project is close to its end Im excited to finish up my video and share it. I still have a lot of editing to complete in the next couple days, so let's just say I'm in the 7th inning of this project.  hours may 19th- 4 hours total project hours 51.25
