So far I have only been familiar with 2D animations, but with this new program (Maya), I know know what its like to work with 3D objects. Maya is a program that allows you to express your creativity through 3D objects. In our first project we've made a 3D castle! I made mine using several different tools! This project was a lot of fun and Im looking forward to using this program for more future animations!
When interviewing people I learned all about the types of questions I should ask. I also learned about voice overs, which are used to edit into the final video to replace your initial questions from the interview. B-Roll I also found out was a huge part of video and that I needed to include video of something that has to do with what you are interviewing about, including natural sound. Using the cameras mic was new to me but easy to learn how to use. I realized that using the mic improves sound quality greatly when dealing with peoples voices.
Conclusion
I was never interested in news production but I felt that learning these techniques could actually help me in other circumstances in other than just news. Theres always a first try to everything and making the interviews was not a let down of an experience as I thought it would be.
Reflections
In my critique, I had very positive feedback and great ideas to reflect upon for my future interviews! I realized that I needed to include a better B-Roll and more NAT Sound to put more emotion and connection in my video.
