Why wouldn't want to donate blood on Friday the 13th? People passing out from all of the blood loss. Olathe Northwest held their blood drive on November 13th where people from all over the community came together to donate. The main scope of this project was to capture how Olathe Northwest pulls off the blood drive, the process and the people that are apart of the whole idea. My goal of this project was to make a video that shows the true meaning of the blood donation and how the community gives to others. The process that I used was "get in and get out", that meaning, I went into the flex theater knowing what I had to get, shot it, and went back to the main entrance because there was just to many people to not know what you have to get.
What I learned along the way is that you need to go into the room, knowing what you need to shoot in order to accomplish whatever your assignment was. If you do not know what you are going to capture than you are basically just going to wonder around in circles because there is a lot of things going on. What I also learned is that if you have a partner than you and that person, need to figure out a set time for gathering footage because you might only have 10 min, to get all of the footage and your partner uses 6 min of that time, which means that you only have 4 min to get all of the footage that you need to complete the assignment.
What I would do differently is that i would story board everything out and know all of the boundaries of the room that you are going to. I did not plan out how long I would be capturing B-Roll and how much time i was going to use to get an interview. So therefore, i only got B-Roll and not and interview. I need to work on prioritizing the time that i have. What I would so the same next time is that i would know what i need to know what to get.
