The interview project was a project we had to do where we found a local expert at pretty much anything and were supposed to interview them about what they do, and make a news package out of it. I chose for this project my grandmother, Jane Sauer, who was a professional artist, and after that did many other things with art. One thing I definitely learned while making this project was how in all news stories, that because you have to make them relatively short, you end up excluding a lot of information and time from your interview in order to make it short enough to hold interest. It also goes to show that editing news packages is harder than you might think because you need to cut the interview out into sound bites, and blend them together without too noticeable of a cut, and you must have B-Roll covering the cuts. In terms of getting the actual footage itself, The main interview with Jane was probably one of the easiest parts of the project and was a definite success, however the supporting interview environment was a lot noisier and the audio quality of the interview was not as good. One of the biggest challenges for me was getting B-Roll. My main interview was at Jane's apartment not the place where I wanted to get B-Roll, so there wasn't an easy way to connect the Interview with the B-Roll, and I didn't have much time at the place. Overall it was a good project to do that had it's challenges for sure, but ended up being a good final project.
