Dani Thompson, Video #2, National History Day

National History Day at the University of Maryland from Danielle Thompson on Vimeo.

Reflections: As intimidated as I was to "get my hands dirty" in video editing with Premier for the first time, I felt that the tutorials gave me enough information to have fun playing with the clips I had.

Although I wish I had asked one simple question of my interviewees, I think I had some interesting sound bites to work with, and I hope my use of multiple title screens helped to inform the viewer of what they were watching.

Also, I will try to pay more attention to backlighting on my subjects. I can do this by having my camera set up in a good shot and THEN finding my MOS interview, not the other way around.
