For the final we were given two options, a 19 shot short film, or a multimedia package. When I first heard that I had the opportunity to do a short film I was open to the idea. I thought about story prompts but there was nothing interesting coming to mind and time was running out. My neighbor own Pointer's Pizza in Richmond Heights. This restaurant is not an ordinary pizza place. They have a challenge, if you and someone else can finish a 28" pizza, you win $500, sounds easy until you see it. I thought, what a cool project to end with? It was perfect too. I had one main interview and pieces of interviews from the two contestants and friend I could include in the article. I liked how we made a separate page just for multimedia and had to write and article and include a picture. Everything worked out really well for this project and I was really happy with how it ended up!
This past Sunday, April 27th, junior at Ladue High School, Joe Schleinhger preformed a concert in the Duck Room at Blueberry Hill. Going into this project I was really nervous because the deadline was coming up. I had chosen this project at the beginning of the month as a fallback just incase something went wrong this month, which it did. When I got to Blueberry Hill I headed downstairs to the Duck Room. Another band with Ron Busch's program was finishing up. I began to look around for different angles of shots that I could get, it seemed a little bit limited. The room itself was also dark so I had to remember to open the iris, which made a big difference. After the concert I interviewed Joe at Blueberry Hill. The background noise was too loud and he was too quiet so I ended up re-interiewing him. Both interviews were not giving as much information as I would've liked so I also had a few voice overs to help the video flow. In the end I learned a lot form this project and and am looking forward to the final.
