Announcement

The Dollars and Sense anniversary event “Making It in Journalism Today” is coming up next Tuesday, May 7. It’s a great opportunity to hear from Baruch journalism alumni who are out there making careers out of what they learned here. (And yes, there will be food.)

Reminders

Starting on Wednesday, classes will again be dedicated to editing and production. If you need to use that time for additional shooting or are doing your editing elsewhere, that’s fine, but I will require your attendance on at least one of those days for a one-on-one check-in.

Final cuts of your docs, along with your whole portfolio site, are due on Monday the 13th by class time since we will need more than one class period to screen them all.

Don’t leave your portfolio websites and reels until the last minute. They are just as important to your grade as anything else you’re doing in this class. They should look polished and professional. If anyone is planning on linking their website to a custom domain, let me know now so I can help you with that.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. I still have a lot of editing to do in terms of narration and adding interviews
2. I will shoot more footage in terms of Joe going outside to make a bank deposit.
3. I need to add stabilizers to some shots and trim others so they don’t appear blurry.
4. I need to add name plates that introduce new people.

This is just some of the footage I have so far. I’m planning to go out and get more of a variety and I have the sit down interview scheduled for this weekend. I’m hoping after that I will have a better idea about how to piece this together.

A couple things before watching:

1. I’m not sure  I put quotes in an order that makes sense to everyone. I’m still playing around with them.
2. I need a LOT more B-roll.
3. I decided to film outdoors, which was a mistake because of the wind and birds. I hope it’s not too distracting.
4. I’m trying to come up with visuals to show while my interviewee is speaking. I have too much footage of protests and am trying to get creative with symbols but can’t think of much.

Hi everyone. This mainly the interview. I’m planning to take a lot more b-roll and get better shots over the break and sort out how I want to sequence the shots.

 

Hello all. Here is a rough look at what my doc may look like. I have a lot more footage + interview + b-roll and I don’t even know how I’m going to sequence the documentary, but nevertheless, enjoy!

I need a lot more b-roll, which is why this video is mostly interview. I have some other things I want to incorporate and plan on going back out to shoot over break. This is what I have so far, though.
