“Five Questions in Four Parts” Interview

           For this project, I produced an interview featuring Dallas Barnes and Bradley Hubbard, where they discussed this year’s homecoming  specifically how they felt about not having a concert and shared their thoughts on the current state of hip-hop. You can view my full video on Youtube!

As the producer, I focused on making sure the audio quality was clear, the lighting was even, and the composition of each shot was balanced. During editing, I cleaned up transitions, synced audio to match, and added background music to create a smoother overall flow. he video starts off with a clean two-shot of the host and guests, setting the vibe right from the jump. Then it switches up with close-ups of Dallas and Bradley while they’re answering questions, plus some reverse shots of the host and a few cutaway listening shots to keep it smooth and natural. I wrapped it up with a tight two-shot close so it all came together nice and professional. I used Incompetech for my music in the background.

Person on the Street (POS) Abortion Ban Senate Bill 323

For this project below is my Youtube video, I decided to focus on the abortion ban, Senate Bill 323. I chose this topic because it’s one of the most talked-about and emotional issues in our state right now. I wanted to find out how people really feel about the bill  whether they support it, oppose it, or feel somewhere in the middle. The goal of my report was to get honest opinions from everyday people, not just politicians or news anchors.

       

 

 From this project, I learned that as a journalist, it’s important to stay neutral and let people’s voices tell the story. I also learned how to balance strong opinions on sensitive topics while keeping the report respectful and informative. The editing process especially syncing the music, adding supers, and adjusting the lighting  helped me make the final version look professional and well-paced. I used Incompetech for my music in the background.

 

            

Me in 30 Seconds!

 This video project is all about showing how editing can totally change the look and feel of a short clip. My first version is raw  no cuts, no effects, and no music. It’s straight from my camera to YouTube, so you can see exactly how it looked when I first recorded it. The lighting in the original video came out darker than I expected, and the overall vibe felt kind of flat. I used free music from Incompetech to put music in my background.
