Job Search and College Wonders
Currently I'm in the process of Job Searching and maybe even looking for a place to go to Grad School. For some reason, I've decided to become motivated. This is a great change of pace. I think I want to start making videos again. Look for one coming in this week, maybe even two. Wow this sounds exciting. In addition to this news, I'm going to focus more on this blog. Maybe it might be found in a search one day. I think I'd enjoy that. I would love to be doing film editing. Lets see if I can get this going again.

Update
I haven't posted any new videos in awhile, but I'm hoping that will change soon. After a short stint with a pharmaceutical company, I'm going to be enrolling in school once again. This time I hope to do something with video and I believe that's why you will see something here soon.

PRSSA Roger Williams University 2008
This week Team 007 reported from the Viking Hotel in Newport, RI to report on new inductees into the Roger Williams University chapter of PRSSA. PRSSA is the Public Relations Student Society of America.
From the PRSSA website:
In 1968, 20 years after its own establishment, the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) founded the Public Relations Student Society of America. The declared purpose of PRSSA is to cultivate a favorable and mutually advantageous relationship between students and professional public relations practitioners.
The student society aims to foster the following:
* Understanding of current theories and procedures of the profession
* Appreciation of the highest ethical ideals and principles
* Awareness of an appropriate professional attitude
* Appreciation of Associate Membership in PRSA and eventually accredited membership
Today The Public Relations Student Society of America has more than 9,600 members in 284 universities across the country.
Difficulties:
1. It was difficult getting any interviews. As you will see in our video we were only able to secure one on camera interview.
2. Getting the story right. I'm not sure our team ever really got the story we wanted to cover or whether or not we really just did three stories at once.
Reflections:
This is the last video for my New Media class at Roger Williams University. If you have been following and enjoying the blog I hope you've enjoyed it. I'm going to be continuing my journey into video editing and hope to have new material or news to share with you soon. Until then, "Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Good Night."~The Truman Show

Democratic Primary Elections
This time, Team 007 decided to take a look at the Democratic Primary Election. We had interviews with the future Vice President of the College Democrats and the department head, Professor June Speakman.
Difficulties in this shoot:
1. Getting the right spot for some of the interviews. As previously found, Roger Williams University isn't the best place to shoot video due to the wind off the water. We tried our best and I have to say I thought the results were satisfactory.
2. Finding relevant B-roll. We spent so much time finding video of the presidential candidates that I believe it doubled the amount of time we spent editing the video.
Enjoy this look into the College Democrats and discussion on the Democratic Primary Elections:

Hilary Wehner Interview
This week, Team 007, interviewed Hilary Wehner. Hilary is a member of the RWU Pep Band, performs in the Sunday Mass, and wrote the new Roger Williams University fight song. She has been playing Clarinet for over twelve years and hopes to continue for many more.
Difficulties in this shoot:
1. The Lighting: I was shooting in the afternoon and had to find a good spot on campus to shoot the footage. I walked around looking for a room that was open with good sized windows so I could get natural light into the shot. I finally found where I wanted to shoot, in the New Academic Building on campus. As you will see in the video the light comes in lightly, but theres no other sounds and there's a solid color behind her.
2. Finding the person: Since we were late finding the person for this weeks shoot, I scurried and found someone through the music department. Luckily, I heard back from her before the deadline.
3. Using Two Cameras: I decided to use two cameras to increase my angles in the clip. I ended up only using the two angles in the performance and next time I do an Interview I will know that's all I really need them for.
4. Editing: This was a nightmare. I took the footage at over four minutes long and condensed it into a one minute and thirty second package. I first made separate videos of each of her performances, then I edited the interview down, then I synced the performance over her interview. Both the interview and the performance have motion techniques put into the shoot in post processing.
5. The lack of a team: I shouldn't wine about this because they both made an effort on Tuesday night to come down after their duties and supported this story. It was difficult planning the interview, writing the memo, shooting the interview with the client, and then editing the video. I would say that this whole process took about 8 to 10 hours this week. Its disappointing things couldn't of worked out better, so that I wouldn't have to carry the load. But, I'm sure both of them will make it up to me with next weeks package. I still think highly of both of them and we will continue to make excellent news.
Outlook:
Next week, Team 007 will have another exciting news package. So check back for more!
