Words of Wisdom

The "Words of Wisdom" video project was a project for Hiki No. Basically what we had to do was find a person with some words of wisdom or advice and interview them. The interview would share a story about the person and then tie in with wisdom or advice. My team for this project was Audrey and Kaylene. We interview Fifth Circuit Family Court Judge Edmund Acoba, but we didn't interview him about his life as a judge. Our interview was about being a karate sensei. Me and Audrey interviewed him and got all the b-roll. Kaylene edited everything, as usual.


In his interview, Edmund talked a lot about how he has to manage his time between his job and teaching karate. That was actually his advice, be sure to manage your time. Also, that you should take time for everything, especially the things you care about. it's important that you aren't so stressed that you want to rip your hair out all the time. For Edmund his release is karate, weather he's teaching, taking a class or going to a seminar or something.

Five Tips For...

We did a "Five Tips" video in our GT class, and my group, Kaylene, Audrey and Kaya, chose the topic "Five Tips For Living Healthy". We chose this topic because it was easy to do and our group agreed on it. We decided to film it all in school during class. Audrey and Kaya were the actresses, I did the voice overs and Kaylene did all the editing. Me and Kaylene also filmed the entire video. Our five tips were:

• Exercise Often
• Try Meditating
• Eat Healthy
• Remember to Relax
• Sleep More

To make this video better we could have made sure there was absolutely no camera movement in any of the shots. Also, the voice overs could have been a lot more clear and slow, so that they would be easier to understand and I could have made it sound more natural because in our video it sounds like they were read from a script. One other thing we could have done was add more interesting shots and angles to make the video look better and keep the viewer more interested in what they were watching.
