My initial plan for this month's project was going to be a Thanksgiving dinner that feeds international students. While filming, it was pretty loud so I could not hear perfectly what was coming into my headphones. I got back from getting many interviews, and a lot of Broll, I was super excited and heard many cool stories. Once I listened to the first interview I knew the project was ruined. It turns out the microphone volume on the camera was way too loud and it ruined all of my interviews. Instead of feeling sorry for myself I had already had a backup plan ready to go incase this fell through, which indeed it did. It is proven that healthier children do better in the classroom. This month I decided to explore this myself. At Old Bonhomme Elementary school Connie Jander and Matt Prange are the two Physical Education teachers. I got great interviews from them and was ready to get Broll of it all. When I came back the next day to edit I was extremely happy with everything, now it was a matter of creating a story people would care about. With hard work and endless editing I finally have a project which I am happy to say came out a lot better than expected. Since 2013 is coming to a close it will soon be time to start a new slate. New story ideas, new people, and a new year!
