Hunger is a growing concern in North Texas, and we wanted to raise awareness to the issue but also show people the way in which it all works.
Our video was a learning experience for all of us. As journalists it was an opportunity to look past the simple news story on deadline and become acquinated with people and take a peak into people’s lives. That human aspect is the meat of these types of stories. In the beginning we struggled to identify that but towards the closing of our projects were able to come out of our shell as a team and really ask the ‘hard questions.’ For the most part I feel my entire group really tested their limits and put in their two cents. The best part of the group was the versatility we had which was very helpful when it came to seeing it from all angles and perfecting our final cuts. Out of the three videos I feel the last one was the strongest and if we could do it again we would have found inner stories in them two, but learning the pressures of deadlines you make do with what youi have and you remember it next time around.
