Here is the link to my Presentation For my internship project, I created a documentary about public transportation in San Diego. I initially intended the documentary to be framed around interviews, with some footage of the trains busses intercut with them. This proved to be an ineffective way to tell a story about public transportation. To frame the narrative, I wrote an essay and recorded a voice over of myself reading it. During editing, I intercut this with the interview footage to back up my claims. This turned out to be a pretty effective story for this style of documentary. For the first two interviews I shot, I recorded two of my fellows interns who took public transportation every day. They didn't have an awful lot to say, but the lighting and depth of field in those shots looked very professional. Later on, I shot footage of an Urban Planner who worked in San Diego. She had a lot to say about the public transit system here, and contradicted the views of the other interns. This was a good thing, because you should always showcase both sides of a story. However, the lighting in this interview was not good at all. The first interview was on an overcast day, and the second was on a bright sunny day. The sun went behind clouds during her interview, and that changed the look of the lighting. I wish I had done more while filming to get the perfect lighting. Overall, I think my documentary is well made and insightful. I do wish I had chosen a topic that was more interesting and personal to me. That would have taken the documentary to the next level.
