There are just so many problems with my assignment this time. A lot of room for improvements.
First of all, I should do a better job taking pictures for the next slideshow assignment. This time, some of the pictures used in the slideshow are repetitive, such as girls holding the cardboard, or people putting money into the can. The topic itself was a bit dull, not very colorful or visually appealing. I tried to take several other pictures, such as the building behind and pedestrians passing by, but it was in the evening, so a lot of the photos were not properly exposed, and I had to stick with those which were not that blurry. I probably should take a lot more next time, and from different angles, just to make sure the slideshow doesn't look boring, and also try to fully demonstrate the event.
Audio: I interviewed two people for this assignment. One of the interviewees was talking too fast. Instead of using a 20 second recording of her interview, I should have broken it down into several pieces, and insert room tone to create pause. It is easier to take control of the pace of the audio when only interview one person. But in this case, I think the trick is to pay attention to the flow, make sure when there are multiple interviewees, there is no one sound too fast or one sound too slow.
Editing: For me, the editing probably is the hardest part. I photoshopped the pictures, used audition to edit the audio, and then put them together in Final Cut. However, I couldn't really make the picture tie to what the person is talking about. Sometimes it's because there is not enough photo to showcase the content, sometimes it's just the timing is not right... For my next assignment, I will try to improve my editing and make the visual and audio elements more connected.
