Final Project

https://vimeo.com/114585304
In this final project, one thing I feel I did well on is getting a variety of different shots that included wide, medium and tight shots that contributed greatly to explaining different things in the interview. One thing I feel I could improve on when making videos is making the audio a little more clear by eliminating the natural sounds in the background.

Video Assignment 1

https://vimeo.com/114086238

One thing I did well on in this assignment was keeping the camera steady and at a good height. However, since this assignment was do at the beginning of video slice I didn't realize shooting vertical on an iPhone doesn't work. Also I could have used a more open ended question that would have taken up more time.

Video Assignment 2

In this assignment I believe I did a good job of getting tight shots and incorporating them in a creative way. One thing I can improve on is I noticed afterward was I moved the camera too much in some parts. 

Video Assignment 3

In this assignment I feel I did a good job of using a variety of wide medium and tight shots. What I can improve on in the next assignment is incorporating more voice overs into my b-roll shots which I failed to do in this assignment.

On this assignment I felt I did a good job at editing my track and rearranging certain clips to make the interview flow better. I could have taken more time to get a better portrait of Dr. Phaire.

In this assignment one thing I did well was eliminating as many "ums" and mistakes from my final edited version. However, my audio recorder died before the interview ended so I didn't get as good of a conclusion as I would have wanted.

Audio Assignment 2 Sources: Someone in the pool, jumping on a trampoline, hosing the plants, basketball dribbling, chopping cucumbers, making coffee, washing machine. turbulence on the plane, jumping jacks, typing on a computer.

In the first assignment, I think I one thing I did well on was adjusting the gain when neccesary. One thing I could do better on in the future is testing out louder environments to see how it would effect the quality of the recording.

In the second assignment I believe I recorded a variety of different types of sounds. The last recording of someone typing was a little too low so in the future I can work on adjusting the gain in a quiet environment.
