Wild Card: Food! Food! Food!



This video assignment was pretty wide open. We could do a video on whatever we wanted, but we had to make sure that we would be able to finish our videos during our studio time (or shortly thereafter). My partner and I decided The Market would be a good topic to cover since we were both starving this morning!

The most difficult part of this project was the audio. The audio for the first speech isn't that good because while I was talking, the camera panned away and so the camera mic slowly got farther and farther away from me. I now know that that is not a good idea. We also had audio troubles with background noise because the workers were getting The Market ready for the noon rush.

Good things were the willingness of The Market staff in allowing us to do a few fun things (i.e. me standing by the Stir Crazy grill waving two spatulas) and my increased competency with transitions. I know I talk about audio and transitions for each assignment, but for me, they are probably the two biggest things I struggle with and they are two of the biggest things that separate a professional video from a blatantly amateur one. By the end of this class, I hope my videos fit in the former category as opposed to the latter.
