The overall production of my two videos was extremely fun. For the second one specifically, I got to film it at my dads apartment, having a night time city scape in the background. They both went exactly how I wanted them to, my scripts came in handy and I felt that they worked to get all of the driving points across.
For my first video, like I mentioned before in one of my previous blogs, I filmed it my small tripod with a light attached, to make it look more professional. I haven't gotten to the editing process for that one since it will be a little bit harder than my second one because I will have a lot of cutaway content and inserted content, which I didn't have in my talk show themed second video.
This is a photo of my exact setup! I did show this photo in my last blog post, but now I can elaborate on it more now. The set up was extremely simple, since it was just me talking to a camera. I will make it so much more interesting within the editing process. I think that it will take a decent amount of time to get this one done, so that is why I am saving it for last.

Now for my second video, as I mentioned before, I got to to film this at my dads apartment. I wanted it to have a very talk show vibe, that is why we decided to film it at night. Now my dad got really into character, he gave himself a fake name and named this show "The Late Late Late Show" as a short of nod to all of the other night time talk shows. In having this energy within this video, made it so much more fun. I felt like I could really communicate my process in a professional but still engaging way.
Now for this video I got a lot more behind the scenes pictures. My dad was really excited to be apart of this part of my project and even made little cue cards for him to remember his lines. This proved to be helpful for keeping the professional aspects that talk shows carry and it helped me remember what I put for my script, but talking about each questions in a way that came natural to me and not a set in stone, blank way. In having me give my answers honestly, it helped me provide emotion to each response, making it really thoughtful.
This video was so extremely fun to film, as it felt like a real interview. I have gotten into the editing process of this video and I decided to do it first because I won't have any cutaway content in order to keep the talk show aesthetic and not make it feel like a YouTube video, as my other video will be like. I will go more into detail about my editing process within my next blog, so stay tuned!
