Practice Profile Story

The purpose of our practice story was to prepare for our final Profile project. In this practice story, we selected a member of our group to interview (my partner, Kora Quintana, picked me) & a topic to film about. Then we found a place where there wouldn't be too much noise (we chose the library), After that, we found a good place in the library, set everything up and started filming. If we hadn't done the practice project, we could have had a lot of trouble with our final Project because we wouldn't have had the practice.
My partner and I chose to do our interview about the project we were doing at that time in my art elective. We chose this topic because the projects had recently been displayed in one of the classrooms window that everyone passes so we thought we would talk about something that has to do with what everyone at our school was able to see. I also noticed that everyone in my art class was really enjoying this project so I thought it would be a good topic.

Profile Project Progress

In our G.T. class, we are currently working on a project called "Elder words of wisdom". For this project my partner and I decided to interview my dad. We chose my dad because he is always telling stories and trying to give advice so we thought he would love to be apart of this project. One day after school we had scheduled to do the interview with my dad but Kora was home sick so I did the interview on my own. The interview worked out after all and I had plenty of time to make sure there were enough questions and the interview didn't seem rushed. One of the only problems with the interview was that I had to use natural lighting so there were a lot of changes in the lighting.

The week after, we worked on B-roll and voice-overs. For the B-roll, we didn't have much time to film with my dad so we didn't quite get enough footage, but the footage we did get was pretty good. A couple days later we went to the G.T. classroom at lunch to film the voice-over. To record the voice-over, my partner had to clip a microphone to her shirt and sit facing the camera as if she were talking to the audience. The voice-over worked out perfectly and we could hear her clearly.

Though our work has turned out nice so far, my partner and I have a few things we can work on. One of those things is agreeing. We tend to disagree on a lot of things and instead of choosing one quickly and moving on, we argue for almost an entire class. Another thing we can work on is splitting up the work. My partner and I have been partners for other projects and every time we work on a project, one of us always ends up doing the work no one else wants to do. Although it's not always the same person, we still need to work on it. We have plenty of things we need to work on but I think we both try our best to make the project the best it can be.
