Process

        For this video, my group decided to interview Brady Slavens, a senior at ONW who was voted the best high school baseball player in Kansas. Our process started off by comparing ideas on what we could do a news story on. We then Tried to film the interview as well as b-roll, however we ran into many problems with the cameras. We eventually got enough footage and the interview. Then we edited the videos individually. 

Group Work

Along the way, I mostly helped with camera work and interview questions. I did not have much success with cameras due to many of the cameras we used being broken, but otherwise I learned all about how to make a news story and good ways to edit one. Previously I did not know how to edit a news story too well, but I feel I have improved a lot. I think my group was very successful in collaborating.  

Approach 

I took a much different approach on editing this time around. As previously mentioned, I did not fully understand how to edit these types of videos before now. Next time I would Like to get more clean b-roll, because much of the b-roll I had was shaky and unusable. I will definitely use this editing experience and improve the recording of b-roll for my next project. Though we had many troubles through this whole process, we got it done, and that's what counts.
