Working Together With Legos Creates Challenges and Donating Blood Saves Lives

Process

For both projects, there was a not lot of preproduction and it differed from previous projects. For this project, there was no storyboarding. There was not any idea of what the true story would be. It was a project that could be interpreted many ways. 

In production, there were a lot of challenges. It was very difficult not using a tripod. It was hard trying to keep the camera steady. It was also very hard thinking of questions to ask on the spot. In the lego project, it was easier because the "actors" knew that you were going to be asking questions and moving around. For the blood drive, the people did not know exactly what you were going to do, so it was more difficult. Although there was difficulty, I able to get all of the needed shots.

In postproduction, I found it difficult to juggle both projects. It was hard remembering which project needed certain edits. I had trouble creating J and L edits, but in the end, I created them. I had to create a script and add voiceovers. I thought this was the hardest project to edit.

Things I Learned

I learned how to add voice overs to my video. I also learned how to create J and L edits to make the transitions smoother and less choppy. I learned how to do backpack journalism.

Reflection and the Future

In the future, I will be able to use voiceovers and J and L edits to enhance my video. I will be more experienced in backpack journalism. I enjoyed this project because I got to be more creative than previous projects and I got to choose the story that would be told.
