Video Write-Up
The story we reported on was the discarding of books in the
library. This was a good story to report on because a good amount of people on
campus don’t know about it.
The process of making this video was very smooth. Everyone
we worked with a very helpful with their information.
I was told a lot of background information by a librarian
before I even started filming which gave me a base knowledge of what I wanted
to film. He was a huge help, but I never had a chance to get him into the
video.
When I first started filming, I was worried that we were not
going to get the best natural sound because the nature of a library. After
getting the correct shots, I noticed in the interview that there was enough
natural sound from background noise.
In fact, there was so much background noise that we needed
have a voice recorder to actual pick up the sound of Garet Nelson’s voice. This
made editing the video and sound a little harder because we had to match the
audio of his voice to the video of his mouth moving.
That process of matching was the most difficult thing to do
while editing. The voice over was a little complicated too.
I edited the footage together before I saw Diana’s script
with I personally wouldn’t do again because of timing. I had a rough idea of
how long the voice over but some parts I was wrong which made more work for me
in the long run.
Overall, this video went was smoother than other video I’ve
done in the past. There were no program issues while exporting.
If I had to do this assignment again, I would get more
footage of discarded books. I feel like be lacked in that area because we only
have two shots of the older books.

Casino Night Video 400-word back story
The Casino Night presented by the Lyndon State College CAB had a poor turnout, to be completely honest.
Dianna and I arrived an hour early to the scheduled time that the event was going to start to film the teacher/ volunteer training. When we arrived, the room was completely vacant except for the CAB director.
I noticed that he was on the phone talking to the casino company, giving them directions to the campus. The training didn’t happen until 7 pm, which was when the event started.
Cab had to push the event back an hour so it started at 8. After learning this, Dianna and I decided to come back to film at 7:45 to get some shots of the training.
While we were filming, everyone gave us the OK to film them. No problems whatsoever.
We had a variation of shots of casino activates and all of the tables. When 8’oclock came around, there wasn’t too many people there.
The group of people there seemed to have liked blackjack because that was the first table they went to and spent the most time there. The way they set up the chips were, the player had to go up the front table and receive chips (obviously no cash value because it’s a college sponsored activity.).
The person who had the most chip value had the opportunity to pick a prize. The prizes were actually something to be competitive about.
Overall, Dianna and I got some good footage; enough footage to work with. We were really concerned that the camera didn’t pick up enough natural sound, but when we reviewed our footage, the natural sound was beautiful.
We had perfect Nat sound of the roulette table, poker chips hitting the table, dice rolling and background talking. After reviewing the footage, I edited it the story together.
Once when the story was complete, we need to add narration. Writing the narration, in my opinion was the hardest part.
We had to write a script that matched what was going on in the story. After we wrote the script, we recorded the entire narration on audacity with a microphone.
When that was all done, we edited the script in with the video. This part was a little complicated but after a few tries the video was complete.
Overall, this had to have been one of easier videos I shot in regards to the people in the video. We had consent to film everything and we were never once brick walled.
