In the editing lesson we learned many tips and tricks for iMovie on the iPad. Although I would still like to learn much more about video editing, (maybe even using a more complex software) I think that I have a good enough understanding to be able to produce projects. While I understand that I am a long ways away from cable news, I think with determination I might someday get there. All things considered I think editing, while complex, is a skill that just takes repetition and the continual updating of knowledge.
Interviewing is the most essential skill we learned from this unit. In this lesson we learned how to apply the rule of thirds to an interview, we have learned how to phrase questions to get the best answers, and we have learned the definition of a sound bite. The most important thing we learned was how to shoot an interview using the rule of thirds. We were taught that when interviewing a subject you want their eyes on one of the top thirds and their shoulders to be on the base line. This lesson was the most interesting to me and I think it will be an essential skill for the rest of my time in broadcast tech.
In this lesson we learned how to get good natural sound and the impact it has. One of the biggest tips I learned from this was the difference between Nat sound and noise. This tip was how Nat sound adds to the story while noise distracts from it. Its important to keep the differences in mind when recording sound because when you later edit your project you will be glad that you have Nat sound ready to use. When the lesson said Nat sound adds to a story they mean that it gives it character and creates an intriguing atmosphere that draws you in. This lesson was one of my favorites because of how important they proved audio to be in a story.
I this lesson we learned unique shooting rules and tips for creating good news packages. One of the things we learned was the rule of thirds. I personally found this extremely intriguing because of the inexpiable visual appeal it has to everyone. Another thing that was interesting was the guidelines for B-Roll. I liked this strategy because it showed how news packages get the story across. All in all I found this lesson very educational
