For this project, we are going to be shooting a day in the life of a web producer for Lyndon State College's news website, Newslinc. This will be featuring Courtland Hanley, who has been a web producer for the website for about 5 months.
Throughout the video, Courtland will discuss what his job description is and what it takes to be a web producer. He will show us how he picks the stories that he wants on the website and how he decides those stories that will be posted. Courtland will then give us a 1 on 1 on reasons why he likes and dislikes web producing.
We will be using an SLR digital camera for the shooting of this video project. Adam will be shooting the production and both Adam and Nick will be editing it. Nick will be doing the writing portion of this project.
We plan on shooting this project while Courtland is working on his shift as a web producer.

Guitar Hero Tournament: Overview
Guitar Hero is a musical rhythm game that turned into a series in 2005. The series currently has seven minor releases and four expansions on gaming consoles and has become a sensation. Guitar Hero continues to be popular with the entire world and is still selling in high numbers.
Zach Rodrigues has been playing Guitar Hero since he was 12 years old. When he plays, he focuses only on the game and nothing else. With purchasing almost every game in the Guitar Hero series, he could be considered one of the best.
In this short video, we see Rodrigues duel against three contestants, Matt, Jeremy, and Duffy and blows them all out of the water. We asked them that they play on the same difficulty as Rodrigues which was "expert", the most hardest difficulty. On every song, Rodrigues scored an 85% or higher on the most hardest difficulty. Throughout the video, you can see that Rodrigues doesn't even have to put in an effort. In one clip, we can see that he plays the guitar behind is back without even having to look at the buttons on the guitar.
After every contestant was finished matching up against Rodrigues, we interviewed them separately and everyone time we asked them what went wrong, their response was, "He is just too good." and that they need more practice.
Rodrigues says that he will keep playing Guitar Hero because it is fun and it relaxes him. He knows he is good but wants to get better. There are plenty of people that are better than him in the world and he wants to increase his skill level.

Video Project: Guitar Hero Tournament--Synopsis

Zach Rodriguez, a Guitar Hero pro, will try and keep his title standing. 5 others will compete and try and take his title away from him.
Adam will do the shooting.
Nick will be the reporter and editor.
We will both be editing the piece down in avid.
(This is just a joke, Zach is not really a "pro" but he is really good and we are going to pretend this is a Tournament.)

Video in Newspapers
For this assignment, i chose the USA TODAY online newspaper. http://www.usatoday.com/
This newspaper does have multiple videos that you can watch that involve up-to-date stories. One video I watched was on the bottom of the home page titled, "A Warrior without a war faces challenges at home." This video runs about 3:30 and describes how a solider is struggling at home. This video was actually pretty interesting.
On the right side bar, there are more videos to look at. One of them is about the rare solar eclipse. This one lasts only 28 seconds. http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/2013/11/03/3421803/
This online newspaper looks very professional. However, there are more pictures than videos. It still tells the stories very well though.
Many of the subjects are interesting. The categories include: News, Sports, Life, Money, Tech, and Travel. These topics are very important to the readers.
Overall, very nice online newspaper.
