I did my second story for the Missourian this week. This time the editors wanted me to attend a statewide auctioneer competition and create a video of the event for the website. I was pretty intimidated by the project in general because video is definitely the medium I have the least experience with. I was the only member of the press covering the event and as a result I received a lot of attention from the organizers. I feel pretty good about the amount of soundbites and b-roll I was able to get. The big areas for improvement are on the technical side. I didn't think to bring a light so my interviews are extremely dark. We used Final Cut to edit. Because I wasn't familiar with the program the time I could have used to voice the video was taken up by learning the software. I'm glad I've been assigned to do some video this early in the semester. Hopefully it will be less intimidating later if I need to do it for a team story.
Here is a link to the story.
