Final part 3

How to Film, Edit, and Blog a project.

First you have to go to the game or event and film it and get an interview with whoever was in charge or an important person involved. Then you go and download the clips from the SD card to the computer. Next you look through the clips and choose your favorites that you want to use, then you edit them down so they look clean and put them into the story. After that you do the same for the interview and you put it into the story to where it makes since so that you can edit the other clips using the J and L edit so that you have b-roll overlapping your interview to make it look better. Then you export the video as a 720pixels to your desktop. Next you go to your Youtube page and you import the video to your youtube. Once its done importing you go to share under the video and then to embed and copy the code.
Then you go to your blog and click on the HTML tab in the top left and past the code.
Then you go back to the compose tab and the video should show up. After that you write a story over your project, put a Title, and then click the publish button. Thats how you film, edit, export, import, and write a blog.

Final part 2 Article

The article is about the most important games left in this years NFL season. It talks about all the games and what would happen if this team won or if the other team won it also talks about their rankings and where they are in there division.
     The strengths that the author has in the story is that he knows what he is talking about and has multiple areas to get info for his story, Its also from ESPN so they get all the information from the teams and the pros themselves.  A weakness is he talks about some teams and games more than others which kind of makes you think he knows more about others than others. The author main idea was that there are still important games left in the year even though there are some teams that already in the playoffs.
      I liked the story because it talked about multiple games and why they where important to the teams playing and it showed that there are a lot of tight leads in most of the divisions still. The author also is knew what he was talking about and made the story interesting because it connected some of the key games left and how if something happened it could change the other games. The author also made it interesting so that know you would want to watch the games he talked about to see who would win.

Finals Part 1 Soccer recap



The Men’s soccer team had a great season, finishing with a 15-3-1 record. Numerous individual records were broken as well, Connor Jokerst broke the single season scoring record with 19 goals, and Chris Cotton broke the single season asset record with 13 assists. Goalie, Charlie Holmgren also broke the fewest goals allowed in a season. Congratulations to the team on having such an amazing season. Zach Clay and Matt Vanderslice have the video story. 

This assignment was a recap of the Ravens mens soccer team season and we interviewed Griffin King a varsity soccer player about the year. We had got the film from the soccer games through out the season, then we interviewed Griffin King for the project, next we edited the film and finished the project for our show. 
       What I learned is how to interview a person outside when it was windy and how to use the best of the interviews to make the project look good. I would interview more people and get more clips of the soccer team through out the year instead of the end when jest me and Zach filmed because then it would make the video better. I would do the interview outside if I had to do it again and I would have filmed Griffin because he gave good answers and it made the project better.
      I will take away a few things from this project like how to film outside when its windy and how to get clips from one computer to another when you don't have a clip on your computer. I thought the project was good we had good clips, a good interview that didn't take place just in the hallway, and we got the project done on time and it gave the information that was needed.

Soccer Regionals

Last Thursday,  the Ravens took on Shawnee Mission West in their regional matchup. The game was very tense throughout, and things finally boiled over when Senior Griffen King received a red card and was ejected from the game putting the Ravens down a man the remainder of the contest. However, they overcame the setback and rallied as a team. Eric Cooksey scored in the 61st minute to put the Ravens up 1-0, and Chase Klusman sealed the deal on a penalty kick, giving the Ravens the 2-0 win.

I have done all of the soccer games either filmed and wrote the script or just wrote the script because I had football and couldn’t film the game. I have also helped Jake and parker edit the film for soccer. I have also done one of the girl’s golf tournament and the dodgeball tournament.  I also helped Jake by pre-reading the cross-country stories and helping him with that. I had done this because I liked to do it and also because it was for my grade it has taken me 31 hours out of school and probably a day or two after the filming in class. The outcome was put on ONW now and also on YouTube. I learned how to write better scripts over the year and film better and not be as shake. My strengths are writing scripts and editing the film, and writing questions to ask to coaches. An area I need to improve on is my filming and to be more sturdy. I have learned a lot over this semester and have improved my talking and writing skills. Also have learned how to be more time manageable with getting to events after practice and doing homework and then editing and writing scripts in class. I will Change the way I work in class and find more work to do. I will keep the way I got to events around practice and homework and writing and editing during class. I want to learn more about filming and editing and become an even better scriptwriter. I have grown as a student and have stopped playing games and focused more and have done more and more sense the beginning of the semester.
