The most interesting part of the project was interviewing the workers and the citizens that are exited about the new Safeway and the other stores that was being built. It was exiting to interview the workers and the citizens because we got to hear at least three or four different perspectives about the stores that are being built and how it would better the community. Another interesting part of our project was taking pictures of the topic with a high quality camera. The pictures that my team and I took came out really pretty and with a high definition!
The biggest roadblock that my team handled was the constant redoing things and getting more and more interviews. That was our biggest road block because the timing and the scheduling was really stressful, because when we had to redo something or get another interview one of us wouldn't be able to go because either something came up or we had other more important plans. Another roadblock that our team faced was editing and getting the technical stuff polished and edited. That was a roadblock because there was only one experienced person that was in our group and It made it hard for her to do everything herself. It was better for her to do it because I bet you that if one of the inexperienced girls on my team including me , that one of us would accidently erase one of the important interview that we needed!
The most important part of our film making was the camera because if one of us clumsy girls fell with the camera in our hand then we get into big trouble! Also another important thing about filming was the people that we had to interview! They were important because they were the ones that gave us all the rich and good information!Without the people who got interviewed we wouldnt have been able to get a grade!
This week my team was working on our HIKI NO project. We were working very hard to make it flawless and acceptable for HIKI NO. The person that we are interviewing is Jeff Griffin. He is a construction worker that is working on the new Safeway across of Cheifess Kamakahelei middle school. So far we have gotten great b-roll of his work site, but now we have to get two more interviews from people who are involved with the safeway project. After that all we need to do is edit the footage, then we are basically done.
Our camera is always rolling because if we mess up we have the power to edit the mistakes out. But sometimes we have to stop the footage it is to either fix the microphone on his shirt or to fix technical problems with the camera or the microphone box. Another reason why we would have to stop the footage is if we have to switch locations. The last reason why we would have to stop the footage is if Jeff is not ready and needs more time to get the words together in his head.
One thing that could do to help my team is to be flexable because lately i have had to cancel some of the interviews because of sports and not having the time to go and help my team out with the b-rolls and the interview. Another way I could help my team out is to share more ideas because i am pretty shy because I think that my teammates are going to judge my ideas but know I know that they will respect my ideas. I had lots of fun making this project.
