A Festival For All (Comm 450)

During this week Asbury did event called Summer Solstice to celebrate the first day of summer at Asbury. So at the event residents were able to socialize, relax, and listen to music during the festivities. The role of AVTV in regards to this event was to record the event proceedings to be used to make a 10-15 min video for Asbury View.   There was also clips of the band that play a jazz style of music to the residents that also liked to entertain the residents with Congo line and clarinet twirling.
During the event I was tasked with taking video footage of the guest during the event and talk and mingle with the residents to get shots for the video. The overall clips taken during the event where group shots of guests at their tables, walking up to buffet line and few close up shots if they were willing.

 Now after looking through the hour long footage and cutting then up into sections of material to use I was able to make around a 14 min video on the proceedings of the event to be shown on the program.   Then the process I made for the Summer Solstice picked up three songs to work with as background music and to see the band that played during the event. With the songs playing overlap some background footage that also happened during the event and splice them into songs when then slow points or the music fits well with the background footage.
The process of picking and choosing is picking out pieces that maintain attention to the video so you I would grab pieces of the band songs and add in background footage of the residents at the event hanging out and talking to each other, going up to the buffet, or any other fun experience to see the excitement of Summer Solstice.
