Birthday News Story
For my news story, Mary, Sadie, Jackson, and I made a video about how so many people at BBA have a December 12th birthday. I have uploaded a screenshot from Sadie's editing, the storyboard Mary created, and a couple behind the scenes shots while we were filming Mary do the 'news' part of the video. During some parts of filming, I helped write the script, and sometimes I filmed. This time went a lot smoother then all the other interviews I've done. Now I know what equipment we need, how to set up the lights and camera tripods, and how to put in the SD card and battery.
​
This was my first time acting on camera. During my first couple interviews I remember watching them and hating how I sounded and looked on camera, so this time I tried to do certain things differently, like not speak monotone and not move and look around. When I was younger I always loved acting in my school plays, but I haven't really done anything like that since seventh grade. The first couple takes I was escapecaially nervous. I didn't have a script, so I was just listening to Mary and trying to make my answers funny. Once we were into the interview I kind of got used to it and I think I did better in the end then the beginning. I hope I get more opportunities to be on camera this semester.
