1 in 2000 interview

Today I interviewed Emily Mauk about one of her most memorable summer experiences. She talked about how she counseled at a camp for middle schoolers. She told me about how she went canoeing with her campers down a long river and then all of a sudden there was rapid water and logs sticking up out of the water. She explained how she feared for her safety and the campers that she was leading. At the end she told me that she stood up to push the log away but ended up cutting her leg. But in the end, Emily explained that everyone was okay and went back to having fun.

To make this video I had to use two voiceovers using the app Voice Memos. I maintained a professional voice in these voiceovers and tried to be clear and precise. It wasn't my first voiceover but it was my first one in a while and I had forgotten a little on how to import it so i asked some fellow classmates to assist me and it all ended good.

Shooting this video was fun, but challenging. Usually filming an interview video you use a medium shot the whole time but Mrs.Smith wanted us to add some more pizzaz to it so we tried to incorporate other shots. I like starting with extra wide shots and then just adding in some more varieties of shots.

I am really happy with my finished video. I spent a lot of hard work and time on it to make it just right. I personally really like my ending, where I added the final voiceover. Emily and I laughed a lot while making this video so I wanted to show the viewers all the fun we had by incorporating some shots of Emily laughing. I sort of treated it like a 'bloopers' reel. The one thing I wish I could fix was to make it a tad bit shorter. The video started off at two minutes and ten seconds and I cut it down to one minute and fifty seconds. I would've liked to shorten it up more, but I felt I couldn't because I wanted Emily's full story to be featured in this video so I kept it at that length.

Overall I am very happy with the video and am glad it looks as great as it does.
