The extra point is good

 WHY CAN BLOGGER BE SO HARD TO USE SOMETIMES?

Sometimes I feel like i know blogger like the palm of my hand, and 5 seconds later... i cant even change the fount😭😭😭😭

the kicker is going for the extra point.

PG. 1
THE PAPER COMPONENT IS ALMOST DONE, AND I AM STILL OK!










 I believe I have said a few times about how scared I was about the print component. WHY? I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. I believe I was just terrified. But honestly, now that it is mostly done. I can finally say it did not end me, and I am so thankful for it.


I am now only missing some final touches on pg !

 THE PRINT COMPONENT WILL DRIVE ME CRAZY😫😫😫

REPORTING FROM BRAZILLLLLLLLL💚💛

Just like last year, during one of the 9 weeks of the portfolio project, we have spring break. Just like last year, when I travelled to Europe to visit some family, this year I will be writing from Brazil, my home country. I arrived last Friday, and honestly, I have been having the time of my life.

Punting

 team meeting...

But what team? Aren't you working by yourself?

YESSS. But in my Aice Media class, Mrs. Stoklosa plans days throughout the nine weeks when we meet in class with people from other groups who are working on different projects so we can:

  • hear feed bacl
  • hear more ideas
  • see how far other groups are(so we know if we are ahead, late or on time)
  • and just interact a bit
I love how we have these days, so it breaks the silence in the classroom. Specially for me, who is working alone, it can be a bit tedious sometimes.

two-point conversion

 MORE INTERVIEWSSSSSS.....

Thruoghout this week I took on the production  process. I filmed another interview with one of the girls. This interview was not an easy one. As halfway through, the voice memo app stoped recording it. LUCKILY, I saw it after 5 mins and was able to fix this BUBU. 
Since the extract from the episode i will actually produce is focused on the girls... I decided to do something different. Something I have never done before.

Since I am also one of the girls who work for the team and I have an actual connection to them... the interviews go naturaly and sometimes some natural smiles and conversations can happen. Moments that would origibaly be cut out, and the audience would never see. 

BUT instead I decided to alos put a camera ON ME.  This way those canded moments can be aired in the episode.

NOTES I 
TOOK IN CLASS

 THE ONE THAT WAS LEFT… PRINT COMPONENT 

This week we had another lecture by Mrs. Stoklosa!  We had a lecture on the writing component. Which to be 100% honest..  it was VERY MUCH NEEDED! I was so confused my the magazine article. Ofc i took some notes! but i also went and did a little research on a project from a previous year! 

As you can see, i had a little artistic moment, and i drew a little lay out with how it should look and i also labeled it with important things i CANT forget like: page number, magazine title, a “by line”…

 For my research I went and took a look at this magazine I got from BLUM’S BLOG and CHIAPPINI’S BLOG. They were from my school’s Tv program, which i am also a part of. Mrs Stoklosa said they did a really nice job with their project but also mentioned a few things  they could have done better.

#18 has been tackled

 FIRST INTERVIEW ID OFFICIALLY DONE

The production process has started... my favorite part 😁😁 I absolutely LOVE interviews. And yesterday I started the interviews. And I am sooooooooooooooo glad  it all went went AMAZING. I was able to give great answers, the shoot looks REALY NICE, and although I had to improve with lighting... it also ended up looking very nice...

 

I decided to start by interviewing one of the football players. WHY? Because since this is an EPISODIC documentary, each of my episodes will be focused on a different part of the team (the players; the managers/athletic helpers; coaches). For my social media, I want to post some sneak peaks from previous and soon to come episodes

Game plan pt.2

WHEN AND HOW AM I CREATING SO MUCH CONTENT?

As I have been working, creating photography and media content for this team for the past 3 years of my life. I have TONS and TONS of content I can use to my advantage and create more content for this project. I used the word "advantage" because this way I can focus more on my interviews and editing. I have found myself with audio problems SO MANY TIMES, and I dont want this to happen again. So the fact that I already have some content I can use for my social media enables me to spend much more time focusing and fixing past mistakes from previous projects. So here is a little schedule on how I expect to spend my time with the creation of my content. 


SCHEDULE:

week 4- first in interviews Coach hood and coach wise + players interviews

week 5- managers and athletic aid (water girls) in terviws 

week 6 & 7-  gap weeks if extra time is needed or anything happens

week 8- start and finish line edit

week 9- touch ups
