February Stuff

NOTE: I know that these hours were before spring break so if they don't count just let me know and I will delete this post but I have them all written down on a log so I know how many I did on each day!

Tracy and I shot student interviews for the sexual health package. It was extremely difficult to get students willing to talk about this topic and I learned that it sometimes help to just use your friends who you know will talk to you for packages like this.

Shooting: 1.5 hours

TOTAL: 21 hours

I helped with the news show and then in the afternoon, shot broll of a couple for the sexual health package. This was also difficult because it was hard to find enough interesting shots to cover a package that is on a sensitive topic. Then at night, I edited in The Southern Office. Then Tracy and McKenzie arrived and we did it together for 2 more hours. 

News: 1 hour

Broll: 1 hour

Editing 4 hours

TOTAL: 27 hours

Because we didn't have enough broll, Tracy and I went to Walmart to get shots of different types of contraceptives. Unlike stricter stores, Walmart didn't question us coming in with a camera, which was helpful. We spent a while trying to decide how to get interesting shots without it looking silly. It was easier to know what type of broll we needed because we had already edited a bit.

Walmart: 1 hour

TOTAL: 28 hours

I finished editing the package today and included clips from Mean Girls to lighten the mood of the package. I have never really included something funny in a package like that but it actually fit and flowed nicely. Also, it is a reference that everyone can understand and appreciate. 

Editing: 2 hours

TOTAL: 30 hours
