After weeks of learning and practicing we were sent out into the field to film and edit an interview with an expert. This project was an amazing learning experience for me because I finally discovered what I need to work on and what skills I am already good at. I learned the importance of planning. Not only do you need to know if your subject is available, but any specific requests they might have. I found this out the hard way. I went to the projectionist at Wehrenberg Des Peres. I knew that he would be able to be interviewed, but after he read the employee hand book he informed me that we wouldn't be allowed to record in his office. This meant that the location of the interview was completely irrelevant and that I could't shoot actual B-roll inside of his office. So I couldn't produce something that was actually worth watching and I wasted a lot of time. Eventually I chose to interview my sister and while I thought that it would be boring and not worth watching, using the tips and tricks we learned the final product actually looks visually appealing and I am very proud of it. This product taught me a lot about what broadcast tech was about and I am excited to do more
