Progress reports/blog (#7): Report on the video to date -- where you think it is successful, where it needs more work, what you can do to improve it.

I feel like today was a good production day we had to fill in the missing elements of the video that we will need to finish up our project. The video's last cut was good and had a pretty good flow to it but we still need a to make it flow to have a point come across, which is to create awareness for employers as well as families. Adding in the parent interview along with the last adjustments to the student will give us the missing pieces that will bring the video together. Having the video continue to give a laid back vibe that also informs is what we are hoping for.

The video is coming together nicely. Today we had a very productive work day. We got 3 interviews done (Karen, Gail, and a ATP parent) we will use these new interviews to better explain what the ATP center does and to also break up Mike's interview. We are going to go to Dogtopia tomorrow and attempt to get a better interview and footage of KC on the job. I think that are video is on track we just have to work on editing it all together in a smooth way. Next week we will probably just finish doing color correction and lower thirds and adding the final touches to our project. We are excited to see all of our work come together and we know our partner is excited too!!

Progress reports/blog (#7): Report on the video to date -- where you think it is successful, where it needs more work, what you can do to improve it.

We just finished filming 2/3 interviews we planned for today. 

For this video to be successful we still need: 

• Interview from Karen at NCCSE
• Parent interview (to be done today, April 16 at 5:45pm)
• KC re-interview (is it even necessary? we're trying to figure it out...)
• Gail interview
• More B-roll
• among the Tighter/smoother cuts/transitions (music will be dragged longer, Mike's interview will be better selected, an ending montage might be added, etc.)
• Graphics and lower thirds need to be added as well

For the most part, after today, we will have most of our footage together and we would just need to get to doing more editing, color correction at the end, etc... We are all excited to have this project taking form.

So far this past week, I met up with some students from the ATP Center
along with a representative from NCCSE, at our local Cal Sate San
Marcos Child Care facility.  Since this was more of a freestyle shoot,
I took a T3i DSLR for the shoot and focused mainly on the interaction
between the ATP students and the children.

-What is left to do is find someone to narrate our video, which will
make our video complete. Besides trying to find a narrator, we also
are thinking of re-shooting certain interviews, that we thought could
improve. As far as our production schedule, I really believe that we
are definitely right on track into completing this video piece. As for
editing, I am responsible for editing the kids care footage, which
will definitely add a different feel to our piece.

So far in this project I have had multiple roles. I have helped with filming, set up and break down,  taking production stills, and also organizing footage into bins. This week we went to the ATP center to get more footage of the students. We filmed them getting on the bus and also filmed them making breakfast and surfing the internet. We also showed some of the people at the ATP center our work in progress and we got some great feedback, we even showed the students the video and they were very excited! We also did more filming at Dogtopia. We still need to get footage of the students doing their work at Palomar College as well as re-do our interview with KC. We would also like to try to get one more interview of a parent and child. We need to work on editing the video so that it flows well between the different segments.

The last week before break we shared our video with a couple of the teachers at the ATP center and after posting it on the blog they were all able to view it and we give feedback about what they saw. We got some great feedback about the video about some things to add and some things to think about when finishing it up. Even though we have a rough edit together we still have a lot of work to add in to make sure we have enough video.

Whats left to do ?
-We want to get one of the interview re done for audio purposes as well as getting a little more b-roll.
-We also want to try to get a production day together to interview one of the parents for a quick testimonial.
-  We are wanting to get some footage at the last site we have not shot at to add what is a big part of what they do there in the program.
- Lastly is putting it all together with these last pieces we feel we will have a solid project and video for the program.

Working with the group I have helped label bins while editing, I helped choose some good footage that we could use in our videos and helped ruth add some work to the edited cut. While we where at Dogtopia I was the Dog Whisperer and helped keep the dogs away from KC so we could get some good footage of her interacting with a few dogs but not all of them as they would swarm around her. While we filmed at the ATP center I helped film and set up, along with making sure the sound worked and that the interview of mike was smooth. While we filmed at San Marcos High I filmed along with everyone else a little bit of what I could. Filming at the ATP center and showing them our rough cut of the video and filming in their environment, working with each other and filming them getting ready for transportation to school. What we have left as of now is to have someone narrate the video and to finish some transitions and also to add a few more progress shots.
