Profile Project Progress

My team and I chose my step dad, Phil Villatora as our interview subject.  We chose him because we had no other options. Karlie's family lives in Delaware, Erin's is in Michigan and mine is all in New york.  The project we were assigned is elder words of wisdom, and we filmed at my house on the 24th.  The purpose of the project is for the interviewee is tell ing elder words of wisdom to the viewer. He was giving words on why people should be sustainable to care for the land more.

The technical parts of B-Roll is that you have to set up and plan your 3 shot sequences and go from wide to medium to close. also, focusing your shots are key. For the voice over technicalities, you have to talk clearly. You have to sound rehearsed, but not like a robot. You have to talk naturally which can be very hard when you have a camera in front of you. Also, if you don't have enough B-Roll, you have to show a shot of the voice overs, so you have to frame the shot right.

To work with my team better, we can maybe work completely on different things like karlie on B-roll description. Erin fixing the drawings and me editing. Communication can maybe be better. Sometimes I don't know what they are doing. We can also make more compromises.

To improve our video, we can re-organize our B-Roll so it matches what he is saying.  also, we can leave our story exactly how it is. On the Critique, we got mainly perfects for story. We also need to turn down his audio levels, because it is vey loud.
