For my project this month I have been reporting on a petition made by students to convince Mr. White into using a smart board setting called creative pen. I had fun making use of my phone and being able to get footage easily. I had an interesting shift in my plans late in my project, because I was originally going to report on Mr. White's refusal to use the pen, however, late in the project he allegedly used the pen for a student's birthday. I used this shift as a turn in the story. Another difficulty I had was with the student I was interviewing being unable to interview due to prior commitments so I had to choose another student to interview. Mr. White denied the fact that he used the pen, however, I was able to get a picture of him using the pen, which he claims was me using photoshop. During my next project, I will make sure to use a microphone, because in Mr. White's interview there is a lot of background noise even after I placed the camera close to him. I will also make sure I am not seen in the reflection of anything, because I noticed after filming that I was in the reflection of one of my interviews. Finally, I will collect more relevant B-roll to the story. I filmed and edited the project on my iPhone, even though it was a fun experience, next time I will use standard equipment due to frustrations with iMovie and limited settings.

I am currently working on a news package about a petition started to make Mr. White use a special setting, called creative pen, on his smart board. So far I have recorded some B-roll of Mr. White teaching in a batman costume and some shots of the petition along with my voiceovers for the intro and one for a transition going from student interviews to Mr. White's interview. I was going to focus on Mr. White's reluctancy to use the pen, however on February 27th, he used the pen to write a happy birthday message to Cassie. I spoke with Cassie and she sent me a picture of the Mr. White's writing and has agreed to do an interview. I sent emails to the 4 students who started the petition, however, they declined an interview. After Mr. White used creative pen I convinced him to do an interview after he previously declined to clear up the point that "he didn't cave into the demands of the petition". I currently need to get B-roll of Cassie in class and a reenactment of Mr. White's initial refusal to use the pen. I will also collect the interview of Mr. White and Cassie, which I have written questions for. I am going to try apple's "everyone can create video" project, so I will only be using my phone and iMovie to edit.
