Glad and Sad News

    An exciting day of Sunday rehearsal yesterday! As always, I used my time wisely and was starting this blog during rehearsal!

[Multitasking at it's finest!]

 My friend Jack, who used to do shows with me, came to today's rehearsal! He was actually there to take social media content for In the Heights since the show is almost here! While on my breaks, I talked to him about how he approaches social media. He is amazing at it since he is the social media manager for his school. He has also won prizes for it!

    After I got home from rehearsal, I researched more about how he does his social media. I mainly focused on looking at all the stories that he has made for all the shows that he has done social media for. he mainly does fun little posts to make the audience engaged. I have decided to take inspiration from this by creating memes like social media posts and using the hashtag "#techcrewlife." 

 

[hashtag tech crew life!]

    I have also made a list of other types of story posts to do! As you can see from the list, I have made all of them except the final edits pic, which I will be making later this week!

Here are some of my other stories!! 

[super fun and interesting stories!]

Here are specifically some frequently asked questions stories!

[I did the same layout for the the FAQs so that it would be cohesive!]

Captions

    Just like I said before, I also made the captions for the Instagram posts, since that is something that I forgot to do before!

    for all of these types of posts, I did the same type of caption. For all the interview posts, I did a quick overview of each of the interviewees. 

    For the Netflix post I made sure to explain when and where it was being released in the caption.

Hashtags

I also included the same exact hashtags in each other posts, in order to gain more interaction with my posts. I did hashtags that had to do with my docuseries. 

Organization Skills

    Now time for the most tedious part...Going through my hundreds of interviews! 

    I have found a really specific method to getting through all of my interview videos! There si a method to my madness! I do this method to all four of my interviewees

1. First I put all of my interview clips into one album

2. Then I go through all of the videos and delete full videos that would not fit going into the video

3. Then I go through the videos again and cut out specific beginnings or endings of the videos that do not matter (such as me asking the question, or laughing at the end)

4. Then I write down a short description for what each video is about

5. Then I make an order for these videos

6. Upload these videos in order to iMovie

7. Split the videos into even smaller videos, so that each clip will be its own cohesive idea that I can move around

8. Cut out parts that are unnecessary, such as pauses

[My method works!]

 Little Girl no More :(

    I have unfortunate news :(( I have decided to cut Emilia's interviewee since I realized that I have way too much interview footage. When I was looking through all of the footage, I realized that her interviewee did not really add anything to my documentary. I was looking to cut an interviewee, and I decided to choose her since her answers were not very good. I'm so sad that I had to make this choice since when I interviewed her for my first documentary, she did a very good job and really added a new perspective to the doc. However this time, it would waste space if I decided to add her, so I decided to cut her interview completely :(
