I think I got some good shots with great nat sound of the ice cracking as the water hit. However, as I moved around I think my white balance got a little messed up because I was shooting so much white, frozen ice. I definitely should have double checked it to make sure but thought it would&#8217;ve been fine since it was on auto.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Grant DeMars: Icy Adventure\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dzfnRmKxDLs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more-->My first VO and VOSOTVO were decent stories, but I feel like they could&#8217;ve been better packages because it was hard to condense all of the information into such a short piece. It also wasn&#8217;t very visual. I should&#8217;ve gone to the union to get shots of real jerseys with price tags one them for B-roll as well. If I packaged this, I&#8217;d include an interview from someone in KU&#8217;s licensing department.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Fake Jersey VO\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OvWhgefYQ8M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Fake Jersey VO\/SOT\/VO\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vyR7dOm8A3o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>My second VO and VOSOTVO was about a topic I&#8217;m very interested in and passionate about, the opioid epidemic. It was something I covered heavily last summer during my internship, and I wanted to do a piece of my own here in Lawrence. Once again, I think the story was almost too broad for a VO or VOSOTVO. One problem I noticed is that my interviewee was looking up at me because I was standing and not sitting. I also would have liked to use more shots of opioid drugs from CNN Newsource, but for the sake of the assignment I didn&#8217;t. I could have tried to get in touch with a pharmacist and shoot my own though. I would like to eventually get more stuff together on this story and turn it into a longform package, because I&#8217;m trying to create a mini-series over the opioid epidemic called &#8220;Hooked.&#8221; I&#8217;ve been thinking about this project for awhile, and think it could really be something interesting.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"GRANT DEMARS VO 2\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y3FSSSNUzWE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"GRANT DEMARS VO\/SOT\/VO 2\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UNC7uqj0fc8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There were several issues with my last VOSOTVO. I shot everything in a big hurry because I wanted to use it for my show, The Next that day. I didn&#8217;t get enough shots, so I had to repeat some and they were also a little shaky. For the show, it was originally a package, so I had to take out some information in order to meet the time limit of a VOSOTVO. During the interview there was a glitch, which I think could&#8217;ve been due to exporting it wrong.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"GRANT DEMARS VO\/SOT\/VO 3\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qyf1GtUc6Vg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I definitely should have shot more for my last VO as well. I would&#8217;ve liked to go inside the school, but didn&#8217;t. I wasn&#8217;t sure if I should have left the images still or gradually make them bigger, but I just left them to play it safe.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"GRANT DEMARS VO 3\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IHgIsF7haa8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think that the video essay was a good project to start out with.
