Representing Others/Visual Argument: Salt & Light

This is probably the most difficult project for me. Initially, I interviewed Nathan and due to using a condenser microphone and a weird microphone setting on the camera, I ended up having 45 minutes of footage with no audio. Obviously, since this was an interview, that was basically a huge waste of footage and I had to do the interview again. This was very disappointing because I felt that the interview the first time around went extremely well and I was happy with what I had. Unfortunately, the second time around did not go as well as the first time. It was a little bit more rushed and the follow-up questions were probably not as good. It was difficult to emulate what I had the first time around. I was able to utilize some of the footage from the first time around and just put different audio in the background. I felt restricted in what I had because the footage I had was limited. I did what I could with what I had and felt if I had more time and more footage, it would have been better. I hope the content and the message of the video speaks louder than the actual technical aspects of the video. Although it did not turn out as well as I would have liked, I am happy with what it turned out to be.
