Advanced Live Event Coverage Project

Assignment: Shoot a live event with a group, or on your own, to document the unique storyline that you set out to communicate. You will coordinate to get the most essential information, create a plan and then execute the footage and interview at a high level.

Due: A 2-5 minute visual story that includes an interview and a lot of b-roll.

Goal: To learn how to cover an event, coordinate with others and capture enough footage to dynamically represent the people and place that made your event worthwhile. Examples would be the Field Trip to the United Center, TEDxLFHS, Teacher Interviews in the DMT, the Walk Out, Historical Society Video Showcase or another event before Spring Break.
