This project is harder than the first one in many ways. Shooting other people can be problematic like permission or timetable. My first option is to make a video of an crossing supervisor working near where I am living. I got the whole idea right away, but approaching her is nearly impossible due to some kinds of laws. Then, I switch to my nephew on square one. Another problem is combing my footage with found footage. Most of the free footage seems to be outdated. There are still some points which satisfy me. For instance, I managed to capture unique moments of my nephew. Kids are really unpredictable. The Sony MC50 had to be ready to shoot at any time with his presence. However, this leads to another difficulty: cutting your raw videos. I hesitated to get rid of unfit scenes just because I worked so hard to shoot them.
After this project, I realized the importance of the background sound. It enhances the feeling of a video and help the story run smoothly. Besides, if I want put my voice in a video as a narrator, I must practice everyday. Moreover, I believe that the art of noticing is essential to Media practitioners. I would not be able to finish this project without paying attention to my nephew: his habits, hobbies or favorite things.
