Our final assignment for the year was to create a complete news package about whatever story we wanted. I chose to interview my grandma, Nancy Lang about how she has been working on her geology for the last twenty five years. The entire process taught me a lot of things. First of all, in the beginning, I was a little shy about getting the b-roll I wanted. I let grandma do her thing and I just went with it.When I went back to edit, I realized I didn't have nearly enough, and the shots weren't as good as they could have been. I had to go and reshoot the b-roll, which in the end turned out to be a very good thing. This time, I directed my grandma, while still getting shots that were authentic. This made the story make a lot more sense. In addition, I became a lot better at interviewing with this project. I had to interview two people, my grandma and my grandpa so I had to learn how to get the information I wanted, with out going to far off track. In addition, I became better at coming up with good follow up questions based on the answers I was given. Lastly, this project taught me what to do when things go wrong. When I was doing my interviews, my camera died, so I had to use my phone for the camera and hold it steady while I was conducting the interviews. Overall, this project helped me advance my skills in all areas of Broadcast Technology, and tied the entire semester, everything that we have learned together.
