News Report Project

News Report Project

        For this assignment, my group and I reported on the Olathe Northwest Dance team. We talked to Maleah Boyd, a student on the dance team, and she answered our questions over the dance team experience. We started by listing ideas of what we could report on. After a lot of thinking, we finally decided that we should interview someone from the dance team. Originally, we planned to interview Maleah and the dance teacher. We spent a while typing out interview questions, however we never got a response from the dance teacher on the interview so we could never interview her. We then spent a few days trying to record the interview. This proved to be a lot more difficult then we thought due to locations around a school being loud.
        I helped with making the interview questions and helped operate the camera. I learned a lot about the interview process, as I had never interviewed someone before for a video. My group made sure to communicate when we were gone and what footage we needed to record. Someone always took leadership when needed, and the whole process went a lot better then everyone initially thought.
        Next time, I would like to get better B-roll and do a better voice over. Though I would keep the editing similar. I thought I edited my piece fairly well. Next time I will also know the best places to record an interview where it is as quiet as possible. I thought this project went pretty well.
