Character Profile

I did my character profile on Harrisburg High School cheerleader Trey Cook.




This story could have gone better. I found myself, once again, struggling to find the narrative. I ended up making it a simple piece about being a male cheerleader in a small town. I suppose that's what I set out to do in the first place. I just found myself lacking direction at some point in the middle of it all. During the edit I had some time to reflect on what worked and what didn't. My audio is pretty good with the exception of the second clip. It required some work in audition due to the known overmodulation caused by the wireless mics we used. That was from the very beginning of the interview when I was still getting all of my levels worked out. Visually, I wish I had edited the audio sooner, then returned with a list of shots to get. Unfortunately, by the time I realized what I was missing it was too late. These are good lessons for the thirty day project. I will be reviewing my material immediately and taking notes to be sure that one is a strong story.
