Lab 2: Interview, Upload and Edit

Today's lab sent us out into the field to interview a subject on a certain topic. Debbie, Lauren and I ventured over to Ulrich Student Center hoping to find some people who were willing to participate, and ultimately came out successful. We filmed introductions and then got right into the interviewing. I was up first. I interviewed Debbie's friend, Mel, who was picking up a package from the Mail Center. I chose the topic of the poor economy to investigate, and Mel did a great job answering the questions! She was pretty calm and relaxed throughout the entire interview, which really helped for things to run smoothly. But little did I know that things back at the lab would not be so easy...

Once we returned to the computer lab, we immediately began uploading our videos. Because there were three of us (as opposed to two), the interviewing process and uploading process took a lot longer, so I was feeling really behind. It also took a while to figure out whose clips belong to each person because you cannot view them before converting the clips on Prism Video Converter.

NOTE TO SELF: Bring a pad and pen out into the field to note which clips/takes you want to use!

After my clips were all organized, the editing process began...
