NEW SECURITY PROCEDURE VIDEOS

There were many new security procedures put in place across the school district this year because of all the school shootings last year, especially Stoneman Douglas because it was so close to home. Not only was this my first project of the year but it was our first collaboration with writers. Isabella had the idea of extending her coverage to an interview with Mr. Barrett so that is exactly what I did. However, when I went to interview him, he had a lot more to say than I expected. Therefore, when I was done with filming and started editing, I split the video into four separate parts because all the information he stated was extremely important for our audience of uninformed students to hear. I posted each video separately on the YouTube channel and then we posted a collage on instagram to include each of the videos so that our audience size would increase even more. Things that went smoothly include the set up in the interview because we were in his office so there were no disturbing noises and he had a lot of time on his hands so I was able to rephrase questions and ask for more information. Things that could have been improved include the preparation beforehand because I didn’t realize how much information he would actually give me. If I knew this beforehand, I would have been able to prepare to make several longer and more extensive videos that went deeper into each new procedure.
