VIDEOGRAPHY
Making videos allows me to put everything I've learned about journalism together: interviewing sources, writing stories, composing shots and creating something visually appealing.

Since I had covered the recall effort for position four's previous holder and its aftermath, I wanted to finish that arc of coverage by profiling the position's new member. I created videos for Mill Valley News before, but this was my first fully packaged video with interviews, B-roll and voiceovers, so I learned a lot about the video editing process.

For The Greeting Committee, it keeps getting better
About the video

When I interviewed The Greeting Committee, I also decided to shoot a live performance to go with the story. I struggled with figuring out how to make the performance sound the best, and eventually decided on using a zoom mic since it was an acoustic song. I also asked the band a few questions beforehand for those who didn't read the story.

To accompany the "After 2:55 p.m." special project profiles about what people do after school, I interviewed each profile subject for a short video. In total, I shot and edited 12 videos over about a week and a half. Morgan was one of the first people I interviewed, and she gave emotive and informative answers that made me more interested in what she did.

I made this video to go with a JagWire page about recognitions at Board of Education meetings that I wrote, took photos and designed for. The story focused more on the implementation of the recognition programs and how they work, so I thought it would be nice for the video to focus more on those recognized.
