This first VOSOTVO assignment was definitely a learning experience for me. I have always been pretty understanding of how to use cameras, edit videos, talk to sources and so on, but I have never been very good at script writing. My thought process has always been “Well, video is worth a thousand words” but I now know how crutial it is to have a well-written script. I also learned that practice helps make things easier so that is an important realization as well.
I also spent a great deal of time learning what stories work and what didnt. Next time I will try to not just scratch the surface of a story and instead dive three levels deeper. I know I have a lot to work on and a lot of improving to do, so I will continue to strive to do better. And strive to not procrastinate… As I tend to do.
I am also looking forward to it warming up, I feel like stories come easier when its not so cold outside! Brrr…
