In Ladue, there's a new phone policy that came into place this year. For my project, I interviewed freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors to see their stance on the new phone policies. There were a variety of different stands on the issue, but all in all they are mostly against it. People seem to think that with the Yondr pouches, it makes the policy a bit extreme. If a teacher takes the student's phone away and puts it in a Yondr, they don't get it back until the end of the day, versus last year it was just until the end of the period. I just finished my revised video of the phone policy and fixed several mistakes that I missed initially. I had a few jump cuts, missed some b-roll (as well as some b-roll not having a clear shot, missed sequences, had a lot of laughter, color correction, and most importantly didn't show a single Yondr pouch in the whole video when it was based basically entirely behind it. Now that seems like a lot of mistakes and yes it was, but it wasn't too bad of a fix. I went back out re-shot the shots that needed to be, got shots of a Yondr pouch, cut out all of the laughter that I initially had, got rid of jump cuts, and rearranged my video drastically to make it more intriguing to the viewer. As well a problem prior was it was a slow start to the video and didn't see anyone until about 40 seconds in versus now at 15 you see the first interviewee. Lastly, cut down my 4 minute video to about half. This was a big learning opportunity for me and now I know what to be more aware of and cautious about my videos in the coming future.
