A Feature Story

For the past few weeks I have been working on my first feature film. I wanted to do something I thought was interesting and what I would want to watch a segment about. I asked Corbin Eaton if I could interview him about his video Emma Say Yes, and he was nice enough to work with me. Corey has a really fun personality so it was a good time interviewing him.

My voiceovers were pretty easy to record because I used the general news segment formula and introduced Corey by naming things people in the school may have seen him doing. I think the introduction was really strong and I'm pretty proud of it.

Corey sat down with me and let me ask some questions behind the process of the video, and it was really fun to hear what the concept was before he created it. His best friend, Jacob Downing, also gave me insight into the concept work. Both interviews went really well together because Jacob and Corey go well together, they are best friends after all.

Once I had all of my interviews, it was easy to write the script and voiceover, and since Corey was an expert interviewer and interviewee, he gave me clear, concise answers.

Shooting my video was also easy, I just had to pick a pretty, well-lit background for the initial interview. For B-Roll I used Corey's original video, which was really helpful because I did not have to collect extra footage.

I am really proud of this video, I worked really hard and I'm happy with the way it turned out. I think my editing is pretty good and everything flows, and I am happy with my voiceovers and questions. Overall, I am proud of my work and I look forward to creating more feature films.
