The Semester Final

What I did well

During this semester I was told plenty of times that my editing was a little above average and that even when we weren't supposed to do pans, when I did, I did it well. I was also good with getting b-roll and making sure that the camera was in a pretty good position. The whole semester went pretty well for me in video but could have gone much better if I knew more about voice overs and framing.

What I need to work on

Like what I said before, I need to work more with voice overs. Whenever we first did interviews I wasn't good with getting my voice overs and putting them in the right place for questions. My next problem was with framing. When doing interviews I wasn't in the best spot with the camera and usually had to much head room and the interviewee wasn't looking the correct position, but everything could have been fixed if I had just gone back through

Action plan to improve

I have some things planned out on how on can improve. step one, when I am setting up an interview I need to make sure I am close enough to the person so there isn't too much room, next I need to make sure they aren't in the middle of the camera and are not looking directly at the camera, after that I need to make sure that they are looking at me and facing towards the more open side of the video. My next thing is that when I finish recording I need to make voice overs to talk about the questions I am asking while stating what the interviewee is going to say.
