10/21/2019 0 Comments First Home game-behind the scenesFor the first ever Friday night lights game at Ladue my classmate, Ava Verstappen, and I decided to document the experience for everyone to be able to look back at. The whole city of Ladue was looking forward to the big game against Webster, and everyone was ready for a big win. The energy and excitement for the game built up day by day until September 13th arrived. Ava, Maria Dolan, and I packed up cameras and equipment to bring to the game. When we arrived we all set out to capture the most memorable aspects of the game. We filmed shots of players, fans, alumni and just the spirit that was visibly being spread among the community. After our classmate Maria helped us to capture photo and video, Ava and I also interviewed former football coach and player, Mark Williams along with a later interview with Head Coach, Mike Tarpey. After collecting footage of the historic game, Ava and I decided to make a news package including the interviews with people of interest from that night. We used the app final cut pro to edit the video daily while also writing blogs revolving around the amazing night. Ava and I edited different parts of the video to put it together with ease. Other tasks included collecting footage off of SD cards which gave us a little bit of unexpected trouble when it came to what card had what clips. After putting in the time to create a video capturing the big point of view of Coach Tarpey, we created an inside look on how amazing the night truly was. |
