To catch you up to speed
Hey folks. It has been quite some time. This is only part one in a series of multiple posts chronicling what has been going on since you've last seen me here. There is quite a lot to talk about but I will keep the first bit pretty simple. I have so far completed three stories for ATV's Field Reporting Program. What, at first, seemed like a mild endeavor has become a way to keep these idle hands semi out of trouble.
My first story was on the Vagina Monologues and there are a few things I liked to change. I would love to add more student sound bites in. I'd also wish I had paid better attention to the camera angle and the framing of some of my interviews. Overall, I'd rate my first story a 2.5 out of 5.
Following that outing, my next story was on the Tug of War tour. It was a spoken word and hip hop event that came to our campus. As of right now, I am proudest of this story. My biggest gripe is the lighting and bad interview framing but otherwise I am happy with the piece. Story gets a 3 out of 5.
My third story was supposed to be on Badcon. This piece was pretty awful. I am not going to list all the problems I had with this story. It gets a 1 out of 5.
As you can see I am a harsh grader of my own work. At some point I will post all of them here so you can be your own judge.
