Practice Profile Story

Before doing our final "Words of Wisdom" interview story, we first did a practice profile story.  I was in a group of four with Jonnika Alumpe, Kirklyn Nishida and Mia Lopez.  The purpose of doing a practice story is to help us get ready for our final.  Some reasons that we did this was to practice planning our profile interview and get use to our new Canon cameras that the DOE granted our school.  We had to start planning all our interview shots and a three shot sequence for each cut that we do in our interview. If we don't do this then the interview will lack B-roll and will show every cut that we made in to the interview.

We choose Kirklyn for this interview because she had the best story that we could film at school.  For example we were going to interview Nika about why she like to play piano and how she got stated.  But we could not film her playing the piano at school without interrupting other classes such as the music room. So we did "Kirklyn Draws Anime".  We were able to quickly film this at school during class and had enough background information to write a good introduction.
