Our fourth STN practice was at the Marriott Hotel in the ballroom. We had it at the Marriott to stimulate what it's going to be like at the actual convention. When we go to Orlando, we won't have the luxury of being able to go back and get an extra battery or another tripod. So, it was good to have our practice there. Overall, all the teams did well and there were improvements that everyone made. I think my team is ready for STN although we need to work on going deeper into a story. Other than that, we're all set.
Spot Feature is a very hard competition because you have to go out and find a story. You have no clue of who you're going to meet and what they're going to say. I think Brandon, Kaden, and I need to work on going deeper. Sure, everyone has some kind of story but, we want to leave a trail of golden nuggets when people watch our video. To do this, we need to ask questions with more depth. We should also ask more questions and talk story with the person before we film them. If they're story isn't what we're looking for we can always move on to another person who may even have a better story.
Practice makes perfect but, I don't think our team needs it. We have done a consistent job of meeting our deadlines and doing well at our past practices. We all work well together and contribute our different strengths to make good videos. We are a strong team and I am confident that we will do well when we go to STN. We don't seem to have a problem with time. Although it would be nice if we had 3 hours of production time, but we just have to deal with what we're given with.
At our fourth practice we improved going up to people. At our third practice we were very hesitant to go and talk to people. But this time we just went for it, we saw a group of people and we just started talking to them. The thing hat I like about Spot Feature is that you get to meet a random stranger and totally get to know them and a story that they have. That's an amazing feeling to get to meet new people that you wouldn't normally meet or people that you had no clue about their background and a story about themselves.
In conclusion, our fourth STN practice went very well. We have improved from our last practice by not hesitating to talk to people. All we really need to work on is going deeper into the story. I don't think our team needs an extra practice because we work very well together.
