Ideas In SID

My First Thoughts:

   When i first came into this class all I knew was that I was going to do something on sports. I didn't know exactly what it was that I was going to do. When I found out that we actually got to make video packages that we go out and film I liked the idea. I liked getting to go interview athletes from a different variety of sports. I felt like my writing needed a little more improvement, rioting stories about the athletes and what achievements they accomplished. So when i learned that we could do a video interview instead of writing a story on them that as better for me. I learned that I was better at coming up with interesting questions to get the person I'm interviewing to get good answers.

Feature Story:
 
  One of my first interviews on camera that I did was Cameron Gueldner. Jackson and I were paired up together. I wrote the questions to interview her and we got some really good footage of Cameron running Cross Country and I got good shots. I learned how to get shots that were relevant to the story I am trying to tell.

Cross Country:

The sport I was assigned was the Cross Country Team. With this sport I had to go out and get footage of them running then come back and make a story the following week. For this I had to get good shots. For this I had to learn how to get good and interesting shots to tell a good story. I think that I learned how to get shots to tell the story.

Camera:

I had to learn how to hold the camera the right way. I had to learn how to make the camera less shaky and figure out how to fix the brightness. I think that I finally learned how to get the right amount of brightness and how to make it less shaky.

My goals:

One of my goals is to learn how to use final cut pro. With the ability of knowing how to use final cut pro I would be able to make more videos and interviews. My other goal is to learn more features on the camera. I think that it would be cool to, when making videos learn how to do more things with the videos that I am shooting.

911 whats your emergency outline

Working Title: 911 What is your emergency?
Producers: Tanner Holland, Doug Pearson

Our documentary is about the SRO, Officer Sebasto. The main conflict is between the struggles of 
going from a street police officer to an officer in the school. Ultimately I want the audience to feel sad 
and to understand the hardship of dealing with students compared to adults.



Main Characters

Officer Sebasto: 

Officer Sebasto is a police officer at the Olathe Police Department. Officer Sebasto 
will be the main character our story is going to be about. It will be about how he interacts with the 
students in the school, and how he changed his approach to his job from working with adults to 
students.

Mrs. Sebasto: 

Mrs. Sebasto will be another main character because she will be interviewed and asked questions 
about her husband and the work that he does. Mrs. Sebasto is the wife of Officer Sebasto. We will
implement her in a way that makes Officer Sebasto look more like one of us.

Officer Sebasto CO(Commanding Officer):

The CO will talk about Officer Sebasto and all the hard work he has done. 

Conflict: The main issue in this story will be Officer Sebasto going from the streets to the hallways. 
The two forces will meet by talking about past cases that Officer Sebasto worked.

Act 1: Early Career (Family implemented)
Act 2: Making the transition to the school(Family implemented)
Act 3: Present day (SRO) (Family implemented)

The resolution will be Officer Sebasto making the transition itself.

Cross Country State

New Golden Age

 This story is about the new ways stories are being told and the new way we are being told the stories and how it is continuing to change.

 The authors main argument was how the different businesses need to change the way they present their product and how they sell their product. A key business that did this was Netflix. They noticed that there needed to be a change in the way it is sold and is presented. That way they keep up to date and still keep satisfying their customers because if the customers are not satisfied then they will leave for a business that does satisfy their wants and needs. One of the authors strengths was that they gave specific examples like Netflix.  The authors general conclusion is that companies have changed and need to change the way that they changed the way of entertainment.

The authors argument does support the main points. Yes because Netflix is taking the entertainment world by storm, their continuing success is evidence in itself. The new and improved platforms on which we gain our information and entertainment help us and the entertainment world portray our stories in greater detail and design. I thought while i was reading the article that the author was right with the point he made that people will get the entertainment they want by finding other ways to get it. So with this in mind the creators of Netflix came up with Netflix and this is how it came to be.

5 tips for a good interview

1) Make sure the lighting in the area is right. Not to bright or to dark. That way it doesn't make the video to bright or not have enough light.

2) Allow the person you are interviewing to have a seat, that way it relaxes the person that you are interviewing. This would help the person being interviewed to relax and it also helps the person not sway back and forth and staying where you want them.

3) When asking the questions and recording stand off to the side of the camera that way the person being interviewed isn't looking directly at the camera. That way it gives the effect of a person actually talking to someone else not talking to the camera.

4) Think of the story you want to make and base your questions off of that. That way when you ask the questions you know what you are asking and make it a strong interview.

5) Ask if there is anything that the person being interviewed would like to add after. This would give the person being interviewed an additional spot to say anything that they wanted to say but hadn't gotten a chance to already.

Cross Country State Qualifying Meet

Cross Country Cat Classic

Cross Country Meet

I went and filmed Cross Countries first meet. I learned the position to stand while filming. I could have gotten more closeups.

Cameron Gueldner Anemia

This Project was about player on the Cross Country team that overcame Anemia. I learned how to add clips to make the video more interesting. I think I need to get more shots of Ca,iron running.

Cameron Gueldner Cross Country Profile

Cross Country Profile: Cameron Gueldner

Olathe Northwest runner Cameron Gueldner has battled through injuries to P.R a few times.

When asked what she could work on. "Get Healthier and pay more attention to my health not just overwork myself but still train hard," she said.

Gueldner when healthy is one of the best runners not just for Olathe Northwest but in the

Sunflower league. Set back by an iron deficiency, Gueldner could only compete in 3 races. But this season she is ready to remain healthy and compete.

Gueldner is one of the hardest working girls on the team. Gueldner said when asked about her strengths “ hardworking and encouraging others for the team”.

Gueldner started cross country in 7^th grade because of her mom. Gueldner says “my mom encouraged me to do cross country in 7^th and 8^th grade and I wanted to see where I could take it in high school”.

Gueldner has competed in Minnesota, Joplin, Missouri and got to compete in the Nike Cross Regionals in South Dakota.

Gueldner will be one of the key runners for this years team and will have her first meet this Thursday against Shawnee Mission South.

Girls: Roxie Blackhurst, Laurel Sherman

1. What do you expect from your team this year that is different than last year?

We lost several key runners from last year’s squad, so we are looking for new leadership. We are looking for kids to step up and fill those vacant spots.

2. What do you need to do as a coach to help your team be successful?

I think I need to be patient and give younger kids more time to develop. I need to help some of my veterans take on more leadership roles this season. It takes time and coaching  to develop leaders, so that is something I will have to stay on top of.

3. Is there something about this team that separates them from any teams you’ve coached in the past?

On the girls side our numbers are down this year. We need everyone to stay healthy, because we are going to be lacking in depth. We have a lot of boys out for the team, so I am looking for kids that want to make a name for themselves by trying to step up and take a varsity spot.

4. What have you done differently to prepare for this season versus last season?

Honestly, not much. The secret to having a successful fall season happens by doing the summer training. We had several kids coming in and running all summer, so hopefully that will pay off for them in the upcoming months.

5. What key meets do you see on the schedule that will challenge your team?

The Missouri Southern Stampede and the Rim Rock Classic are two very large meets that we will be attending this fall. Both meet will show us how we are progressing and what we will need to do in order to be more competitive.

Hayden Kovarik Q&A

Returning varsity runner Hayden Kovarik lettered last year and had an average season. This season Kovarik is looking to improve on getting the sixteen-minute mark on the 5K run.

“I am the second best runner on the team” said Kovark when asked about how he ranked on the team. When Hayden races he gets tired and he feels he would be able to do better if he didn’t get tired and he views this as his weekness.

Hayden is looking forward to competing in state and seeing what the team can do.

“Aaron Taylor and Trey Seaba” said Kovark are the team’s main contributors on the boys side. On the girls side Hayden feels the main contributor is Cameron Gueldner.

Hayden views that the toughest opponent last year was Olathe north because they always have a good team. He prepares in the off season for this matchup by running twice a day and average 60 miles a week.

Kovariks proudest accomplishment are medaling twice this year.  The most memorable moment last year was getting to travel down to Minnesota with the team.

Kovarik started getting into cross country by his sister. His oldest sister ran in cross country so he started to and plans on doing Cross Country in college if he gets a scholarship.

Haydens greatest hope for cross country is being able compete in State and his greatest fear is to fall and wipeout during a race.
