I’m not gonna lie. This project was ruff. Excuse my bad pun, but in a real way, this week was filled with highs and lows. At the beginning of the week, I was excited to get the Bootcamp kicked off and begin fleshing out ideas for the story. Everything happened quickly once the interviewing started. When I first set the headphones on my ears I was placed in a completely immersive sound experience. Suddenly I found myself noticing natural sounds and listening to the speaker’s tone of voice. A frustrating hiccup occurred the morning of the interview when I forgot to press record. I went into the newsroom and my stomach began to sink as I realized I did not have my precious audio. Laying out the audio tracks and piecing the story together in a methodical process was incredibly useful. I will definitely bring this process with me in future productions. During the first edit, Traci deconstructed the story, to which I am grateful for. Her edits helped me pinpoint elements in the story that focuses on the theme and drive the story forward in a clear way. I am proud of my final story, and I am excited to share it with all canine lovers.
I’m not gonna lie.
This project was ruff.
The beginning of the week.
I made quite a bluff.
But now it’s the end
I have work to show.
A four-minute clip
Where the hell did it go
It’s here in my drive
Where everything’s inside
Each picture and script
The logs and the dogs
From Monday to Friday
I put in the time
With Ray by my side
I didn’t get behind
Now that it’s Friday
I think about all
The work that I did
And look back in awe
A fun week it’s been
Thank you Next Gen
