Video Editing during a TV program

As I was watching TLC's Kate:Her Story, a television program to set out unanswered questions by Kate Gosselin the mother in the series Jon and Kate Plus 8, I noticed how the producers used many varieties of shots to help keep the basic interview more interesting.

The various shots included ones of her and NBC's Natalie Morales (the interviewer) sitting on a gold couch, typically this was used while Kate was answering a question or Natalie was asking a question.

Close up's of Kate's face, especially during emotional moments or pauses, or shots of Kate over Natalie's shoulder so you could see who was asking the question.

There were also shots of Natalie's face from behind Kate to show when she was asking questions.

However, there was little variation from those four different shots. Producers could have showed that when she was crying she reached down for a kleenex--or views from behind the couches. However, I realize that in this case the focus was certainly for Kate to tell her story and not for fancy complicate angles.

Plans for Slideshow

I have contemplated many ideas for my slide show, Its hard because I feel like as a "college chef" who can really serve as a person of interest?

Because my blogs focus is to highlight student cooking, I've decided I would like to travel with a student from beginning to end through cooking a meal, driving to the supermarket, picking out items, and then actually making them--showing the ease of the whole process and depicting that its not complicated to make an easy meal.
