'tis the flu season

A few blog posts ago, I reported that Lauren and I were to film with Constanza, Josh, and Sai that week, even sharing a small filming schedule Lauren curated on Canva. Unfortunately, our plans to record interviews and b-roll with the podcast hosts, Josh and Sai, fell through as an obligation appeared for one of them. However, the schedule with the yearbook editor in chief Constanza went according to plan, and Lauren and I were able to gather a variety of beautiful footage and intel on the subject's creative process. 

When preparing for Constanza's interview, Lauren and I decided that we would not inquire her on all the interview questions we prepared considering we wished to focus her responses on the extracts suitable for social media. Highlighted below are the questions we utilized in the interaction.

Following the interview, which worked extremely well as Constanza is a natural on camera, Lauren and I filmed b-roll in our school's yearbook room (with permission from the teacher, of course). We primarily focused on capturing Constanza fulfilling her duties, such as editing layouts on her computer or writing out the club's schedule on the white board. In addition, we made sure to film collaborative footage in which Constanza appears working with her fellow editors on their designated assignments. Lastly, Lauren and I decided that capturing stills of the room itself, which is fantastically decorated, would be essential in order to represent the environment of the creative process. Below is my favorite piece of b-roll recorded that day, with the beautiful and glowing yearbook sign from the classroom demonstrated. 

Also, here is a funny behind the scenes clip in which Constanza is heard testing the microphone used for the interview: 

Although we have yet to film with Sai and Josh (schedule to be announced), today, Lauren met with Riley and Abby to film their sequences for our social media. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend as I am currently sick with the flu. However, I completely trust that Lauren was able to capture amazing footage for our project and I cannot wait to share what those look like!
