My capstone was a teacher vs students basketball game. I was inspired by my friend, Jaden, to create my own version of his idea. I chose to do this project because I wanted to involve the school community outside the classroom. After seeing the environment of my basketball senior day I saw how much the school liked watching basketball games and it felt perfect. I wanted to also have a positive impact on the community that everyone will remember later down the road and see how a positive school with events can benefit the education purpose. In addition, teachers and students don’t do too much bonding outside the classroom and I wanted to change that with my capstone I was able to do that.

For my capstone, I captured the “Big Day” for a couple in four minutes. A video that allows the couple to relive the day of their wedding. This idea came about when I heard that the couple was getting married. I introduced the idea to them and they approved of it. I didn’t know how to compose a wedding video so I started by researching different sources. I gained insight into what I needed, what to capture, the editing process, etc. Then came the time to record the wedding. I then went through the editing process then lastly, exported the video. There are many things I learned such as being more prepared. You only get one shot in each moment and can’t do it over. I should have taken the time to practice with the camera I was using and have an overview of the location where the wedding was held. I have gained new experiences and challenges through this project. I believe in the importance of capturing memories for us to look back upon. I hope to make a wedding video again and improve on this project.
