Capstone Appointments

Now that I have my idea perfected the work part has begun.  I am currently trying to set up appointments with community members and finding interesting events to go and get video clips from.  This is not the easiest tasks.  Setting up appointments are the most difficult part of this process and I am finding this out quickly.  I have appointments set up for next week, but on the downside it is next week.  I need to get in contact with Jason or Kevin for them to help me understand how to set up a make shift news studio preferably with green screen accessibility and software for green screen technologies.  Once I get all of these set up I can truly focus on the editing process where I should learn more about how to get a good quality program.

Capstone Change

This last week I changed up my capstone a little bit to make it more interesting to me and hopefully more interesting to my intended audience members.  I have changed my idea up slightly while keeping a similar project.  the only difference between what I was doing before and what I am doing now is the time limit and the differences in appearance.  I intend to make two 5 minute presentations with the same content and same script.  The only difference I am making is that the anchors/ reporters in one will be wearing more professional clothing or formal clothing and in the other it will be more informal/ street clothes.  Once I finish the filming I would present my two shows to one of Kevin's classes and see which one is more effective.  The next step will be to post my project onto Youtube.  the plan for the Youtube project would be to split screen the two presentation zooming into one and then the other increasing and decreasing volume and size depending on which is the feature at the time.  This will be a great way to show employers what I can do in a short time and that I can come up with good ideas.

The most difficult process of my capstone is the preproduction.  I really want to try to find a new style to produce the news so that it is interesting for my audience.  This has been a difficult task, but I am researching a lot and here are some of the articles I have been reading getting a better sense of how I should produce and what I should be aware of when setting up a production of the news.
