"Everybody has a Story"11/17/2017 For this assignment we were asked to watch a couple of videos. They were stories about randomly picked people. And yet they moved me, bringing me close to tears. Steve Hartman has a true talent when it comes to interviewing. Although he may not follow Bob Dotson's theory of Hey, You, See, So exactly he still manages to give his videos emotions and interesting plots. He never fails to get ones attention, usually with a sound effect. He also uses these as punctuation, a trick I can't wait to use on my News Package project. Somehow Steve has managed to relate every single story he tells to me, a random girl in LHS. A very good example is that of a wife in Pennsylvania who thought there was nothing special about her. She turned out to have a kind heart which she shared with her adopted children just as much as she would've with her real children. My favorite is that of a middle school football team, called Olivet. The entire team prepares a very special play, they help a kid with special needs score his first touchdown. This shows that the kid will always have a friend there with him to support him, and it also shows the other players on the team to care and be nice to others.

Practice Interview11/9/2017 Learning how to do an interview, like everything new students learn in high school, this has a couple of basic steps we need to follow. Some of these include: watching your audio, prepping before the interview, listen to the subject and not to be scared of steering off topic if somebody reveals very interesting information. Now if this does happen always make sure to ask if the person being interviewed would like to add anything, a lot of times people get the best information with the answers to this question. Another essential part of interviewing is ensuring that the person is comfortable, ask in long sentences and explain to them what is going to happen, while telling them they can restart a question, and asking them a bit of warm-up questions to relax them. Always remember to tell them to look at you and not the camera and ask them to say and spell their name so that the camera man can see how the audio is. After learning all of these details I have to say I am very excited to do the actual interview and see how that goes.
