1) Anya Angarsky
2) This is my first time using Final Cut Pro!
3) I feel like I succeeded in cutting out the excess dialogue (such as “umm”s and “uhh”s) and created a flowing piece that details the lives of these select Wake Forest University students. I also like my ending which shows the students’ personalities.
4) Areas where I could have improved are: making the cuts less “rough”, adding more exciting dialogue, and including more students to portray more perspectives.
5) We could have improved the way in which we captured the interviews by making sure there was no background noise from the other interviews going on in the room. Another problem we had was the angle of the camera because most students ended up looking at the interviewer instead of the camera. Next time, the interviewer should stand directly next to/behind the camera. Also, sometimes the interviewees were awkwardly framed by the camera so we need to work on camera composition as a class.
