ONW 1 in 2000 Video

       In this video that I have created, I interviewed August Berthold. We had to learn how to conduct an interview, and how to actually ask questions to the interviewee. I ended up having over seven minutes of footage, and ended up using only a minute of it. I also had 1 minute of voice over, but only used 15 seconds of it. But it's always good to have more footage than you need for your video. You can see the video below.

       August was a big part in the making of this video, and brought a lot to the table for the making of it. I learned all about his Summer while filming the interview. He worked construction and demolition with his Grandpa, which he enjoyed doing, and is hoping to go into that field when he is older. I also found out that he wanted to get back into sports, after not doing any for four years, so he has joined a recreational league, and hopes to join a competitive league soon. He also participated in band camp, which he wasn't really happy about, but he did have some friends there to keep him company.
       When I had to write my interview, I made sure to include anything I might want to add to the video, even if it wasn't actually going to be in the video. I did want to have an interesting intro, that would grab the attention of anyone watching the video. The hook is always an important part of your video, because, without it, people will stop watching your video as soon as they started watching it. I also made sure to have a good outro, so the video would have a clear and nice flowing ending, so that you aren't surprised that the video was ending.
      In order to shoot the video, the first thing we did was set up a camera on a tripod, and just filmed us sitting on a bench talking to each other. It wasn't too hard. The next day of filming, we shot each other walking down hallways, or opening doors or staring at things. It wasn't very interesting film, but by putting it on top of the interview, it made the video a lot more interesting.
      I really like how the video turned out. I liked the way the voiceover worked out on top of the footage and the interview. August was very helpful for doing the interview. The footage of August walking in and going through doors flowed very well with the rest of the interview, and the overall video turned out great.
