Today in class we went over the four news videos that different groups had created before spring break. Painstakingly, the first video we went over was my groups, which featured a great big close-up of myself as the starting image. For those who haven't seen it yet, watch it!
Luckily, our reviews were not too brutal. One helpful tactic for myself personally was to slow down as I was speaking, because at times it can be difficult to understand. However, the content of what I was saying got positive reviews, which I was proud of.
Other criticisms for our video were related to sound. At some times it could be difficult to hear the people we were interviewing, while other interviews were loud and clear. We also had a tendency for cutting off what people were saying, which I think could be fixed by editing a bit more carefully.
Another problem was the introduction, which was shot indoors. Professor Littau told us that since the video was about the snow, which is a topic that consists entirely of being outdoors, we should have shot the introduction outdoors as well. I completely agree with this suggestion, and think it would have greatly helped the video.
All in all, not a terrible review!
I'm looking forward to filming for next weeks news video, which is also about our final project. Our final project is focusing on the homeless crisis in Bethlehem, and we are going to be going to homeless shelters to try and find some quotes. But, you'll hear more about that later!
