Final Project

The Monfort's Story:

*The B-Roll will show two days (or more) of following the Monfort family, then lead to the third day of interviewing the family.

*Questions: (more to come when following the family so we can get a more better understand of them first)
1. What do you remember with Leeann birth? Good or bad, tell me more about it.
2. When did you know something was wrong with Leeann?
3. From what you remember, when did Leeann situation get worse? How, has she always been this way, and how was she as a child growing up?
4. Has this situation affected your social life? Are there other situations affecting it? How?
5. What does the family plan to do when you are no longer able to care for your child?
6. If you could wish one thing for Leeann what would it be?
7. (For Kevin Monfort, the younger brother) Tell me about having an older sister that is handicap. How is it no different than anyone else? How is it different?

Self Critique

For my final edit I decided to simplify a bit and take the dog's voice out. I thought it was a cute idea, but im not sure how to work the dog in with the way that everything was shot. I am going back closer to my original idea and sticking to a more serious point.I also did some work on the audio. I added presence many spots (especially in the area in the kitchen). For my menu, I revised completely and made much softer on the eyes. Im pretty happy with how this homework assignment went over because I am much more comfortable and familiar with the programs this week.

Crit on Crit

I was told that my dog was a pretty good actor, and it was suggested that I give him a voiceover to make him more of a character. So I did. It kinda changes the angle that the story is coming from but it makes the movie more entertaining because it adds a comical aspect to the piece. I also shortened the video by about 4 minutes because there was just too much dragging. There are still some audio errors in my video that were from recording. I'm still learning how to use final cut but I'm in a much better place than I was.
