The last couple of weeks have been crazy in Video class. We did a project where we filmed a fellow classmate build a lego spaceship and asked questions throughout there building process. We took these clips when there were talking and did J and L edits with them. A J and L edit is where you take a clip of the person talking and you put another clip over them talking so you are seeing them build the lego spaceship while at the same time you hear them talking. During the middle of this project we started doing another project which was pretty much the same thing we have been doing except this time it was over the blood drive.
Similarities and Differences
There were some pretty distinctive similarities and differences between the two projects. The lego project was definitely more planned out, while the blood drive was right on the spot. The blood drive however was definitely a very cool experience because it kinda felt like you were a news channel covering this blood drive event, getting cool shots and getting interviews it was very cool.
The Lego Project
The lego project was the 1st project we started working on. What we did was we got into partners and we took turns from actually filming to building the lego spaceship. The goal of this project was to kind of get a perspective on convergence journalism. This was pretty fun for me as I am wanting to go into the convergence journalism strand. I learned that you want to get a lot of different shots especially close ups. This was a great experience for me and I hope to do more stuff like this in the future.
The Blood Drive Project
The blood drive project which took place during the lego project was a little hectic but was still an awesome experience. It felt like you were a news reporter covering a story which was a lot of fun. I was able to get some really good shots but there was definitely some things I would do differently next time. I would first get a lot more shots interviewing the person and get him talking more. I would next get a lot more different shots especially close ups. Unfortunately I was not able to get shots of him actually donating the blood because we ran out of time but like I've said before this experience was such a good experience for me.
