So, I'm really starting to get into this non-print media class...it's really fun! (And I'm not just saying that to get brownie points.) I honestly feel this way; it's like I've opened a door in a mansion that leads to a room I've never seen before. On Sunday, prior to my interview, I started playing with Windows Movie Maker because I have the application on my laptop and it's pretty easy to use! I started working on a slide show of my Freedom School experience this past summer. There isn't much in the video, just some music over a couple of pictures and a title page. When it's finished, I'll be sure to post it!
Working on movie maker ignited a little fire in me about the possibilities of production and how I could piece together my own "man-on-the-street" interview (one of my assignments due soon). Monday was an absolutely beautiful day (before the torrential downpour and 30-degree temperature drop) . The perfect day to shoot my interview! As expected there were tons of people outside.
I met a really interesting kid named David on Monday; he became the subject of my assignment. It's funny because I actually saw his bright blue "Obama and Arenas for President 08" shirt before I saw him. He was very willing to talk to me and offer some great footage for my interview. Our interview lasted about four/five minutes, but he was very insightful, especially when talking about Barack Obama as a presidential candidate. It always makes me smile when I hear about "young people" getting involved with the election or at least becoming well-versed in candidate's platform.
Even though my current field of interest is print-journalism, I can see myself in this other area of video and photography...it's good that I'm getting my hands dirty now...
