This week we were unable to get any interviews with the deans from both Saunders Hall as well as Sakamaki Hall. Instead this week we decided to begin to create the video from the interviews that we had obtained in the previous week.
Our time limit for the presentation tomorrow is 5-7 minutes however we went over that time limit as we found that there was no way to cram all of the information that we had received into that short of a time limit. In the end our video was about 9:55 with only 3 people being interviewed and all of the irrelevant sections cut out.
In light of the amount of time these interviews took we decided that if we were to cover the PACE Bill or other such topics related to solar energy, then we would need to create a 2nd video to provide the information. Also if we manage to get interviews with the deans of Saunders Hall and Sakamaki Hall, then its most likely that we will have to go back and re-edit the current video and cut out some of the footage in the video and replace it with the footage from the Saunders and Sakamaki Hall interviews.
Lastly we realize that our target goal is to be at most a little over 7 min just like our energy pong video. We believe that excessively long videos (especially those with almost exclusively interview footage) can actually do more harm than good as the user is more prone to loosing focus or interest as time progresses within the video. With that in mind, this week if we are unable to get interviews then we will comb over the current video again and try to cut out about 2:30 from the film to bring it down to around 7 minutes. Also we plan to film a short introduction in the beginning of the video explaining the purpose and perhaps a brief explanation about solar power.
