I started off this project by brainstorming questions. I came up with five good questions that I wanted to ask people. After this I ended up narrowing the questions down to three. I think that this was the hardest part for me because it basically made what my whole project was going to be on.
Once I got the questions down, I wanted to lay out the structure that I was going to use for the video. This is just the way I like to think. Instead of creating all of the videos first and then adding titles to them, I like to have everything all set up before I start recording. This makes it as easy as a drag and a drop into iMovie to finish my project.
Transferring my videos to iMovie is really easy. In the first video I made, I used Photo Booth so it was right on the computer to begin with all I had to do was drag it into iMovie. With my camera it was about the same thing, with just one more step. I had to connect the camera to the computer and open up the videos in iPhoto. From there I just saved them to the desktop and then dragged them right onto iMovie.
I still have to interview a Senior leader and a staff member, but I now know who I am going to interview and it will be as easy as finding them and recording them for a few minutes, then my project will be done.
As for time management, the best advice that I can give on a long term project like this is to start early. The worst thing that you can do is wait until the last minute. Not only will you be stressing, but your project will not come nearly as good as it would if you plan out your time well.
