FINISHED NEWS STORY

    We're back with the LAST post on the Hiki No news story! As you all know from my previous posts, (or maybe you haven't read them yet... or watched the video above... I don't care) the story is about the opening of a new store: Sports Authority. My team, Kamalei BergKalani Young, Micah Miller, and me all helped to create this. Thanks Guys! Also a special shoutout to Joyce from Sports Authority for the interview, and to KAC (Kauai Athletic Club) for letting us film some treadmills and weights being used. And another thanks to the other interviewees for their cooperation and information. Thank you everyone else who contributed to this film! :)

Despite all the people that contributed to this film, the final cut has some technical errors. (then again, we're only 11 & 12, but nobody cares.) Some of the shots are clearly edited, so I apologize to the people out there who are disappointed at the final product.We had some major issues involving B-roll, (which we never had enough of,) where I was pretty much the ONLY person who was actually going out and getting steady, useable B-roll. Kamalei tried to get some B-roll, but the shots were mostly shaky. Sorry Kamalei. I'm just a little aggravated that the final cut didn't come out as good as I hoped. (I'm not saying it wasn't at all my fault...) But it had it's good side. I mean, all the shots are clearly focused, right? anyway... time to talk about the results...

Here's the poll of the film. (the poll was done by the people in my class.)

T5: New Sports Authority by Kalani, Micah, Kamalei, Linden

114%
21037%
31244%
4415%













1 = Totally boring
2 = Better then totally boring
3 = Pretty good
4 = Exeptional

So... Yeah... not exactly the best scores... I sorta agree about the poll in some ways, but disagree in others. Sure, I agree that it wasn't much of a 4, There were bugs, it was a little messy, but a 1..? Now that's just harsh. I really don't thing the story was boring and something you would want to sleep through. I get it. It wasn't exactly super interesting, but it wasn't super boring ether. If the option was available, I would probably rate it a 2.5. Anyway, tell me what you think. I'm sure you could message me on google+, or email me, or something. But if you can't, it's ok.

I'm working on a new post! :3
