Senior project day 5 may 13th

 Today May 13th, I spent the majority of the day getting some extra film of my interviewees. This morning I continued to go through my raw footage and place it into categories, location, people, and quality of answer. I arrived on campus at around 12, when which I helped Tate Matte record some footage for his senior project. This afternoon I traveled to the baseball game to get some film and photos of Tate, Josh, and Tucker to use in my final video. With several games happening this afternoon I was unable to find anyone to interview. tomorrow I hope to track down at least 5 more people. I have done 8 interviews so far, I think 13 is a better number to have as I need just a little more footage before I can start the editing process. Im starting to think about possible options for background music and other "fillers" in my final cut. just walking around today filming was a very enjoyable experience for me, being able to capture some of the fun during not only the baseball game, but the rest of the day on campus was great. Tomorrow, I see as my final day of filming as I move into next week and the greater editing process which should take a significantly larger amount of time. My mentor Ryan explained to me the fact that editing is almost 3 times the amount of time you spend filming which for me at this point is around 30 hours of editing woohoo!!

may 13th- 6 hours

    Kyle, nice work capturing b-roll -- what a great idea to spend time recording with the baseball team and film on a Friday afternoon. I agree, a few more interviews will likely make you feel more confident in your core content, and then you can start editing. I'm looking forward to seeing this come together as you start to edit!

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
