I recently finished filming for my first project that is due in my Broadcast News class. I was required to film and edit a video and write a voice over to accompany it. I had to find a "hard news" story somewhere on campus so I decided to focus on the construction side on the side of Cooper Hall. In case you haven’t noticed, there is a part of the sidewalk blocked off and a huge hole in the ground surrounded by orange fencing.
In case you're wondering what they're doing, USF's department of Facilities and Planning is installing new pipes as an improvement to the chilled water plant on campus. The plant provides air conditioning and cold water to the campus.
The angle of my project was to focus on how the construction is interfering with transportation on campus. I shot video of students walking around the orange fencing and also video of construction workers using heavy machinery. I turned my project in last week and am eager to find out how I did.

As I walk to writing class every Tuesday and Thursday I have often wondered what they are doing with all the construction. Now I know! It is kind of an inconvience, but I guess if it benefits the school I can live with it. Hope you get a good grade on your video!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know, I am sure everyone that walks past cooper Hall is wondering why the side walk is detoured for a construction crew. Good luck with your project, that is an interesting angle to take.
