Feature Story #2 Blog

My second feature story was about Olathe Northwest's Choir. I wanted to just show how the choir is so successful and how hard the teachers work for its success. In my narrative lead I said that choir is one of the most popular elective at ONW and how hard Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. Cohick work for it. I interviewed Mrs. Williamson, the choir teacher, and Sophie Kebret, who is a sophomore choir student. Mrs. Williamson talked about how everyone who has an interest in singing should join choir and how it is a very inclusive environment. She also talked about the accompanist, Mrs. Cohick. She said that Mrs. Cohick is a great asset to the choir department and how none of the success it has could be possible if it weren't for her.
When i was shooting this video at the beginning i had a hard time trying to find a variety of shots and not just shots of the choir singing. So I incorporated shots of the posters around the choir room and I also incorporated the six shot system. When I edited it I have gotten a lot more comfortable with Premier Pro and the editing time took barely any time.
Some feedback I received was that some of my shots are shaky so I tried to edit them and I ended up changing the beginning to remove some of the shaky shots and it ended up losing a to better.
Overall I think this project well reflected my skills in convergence journalism.
