Originally I was assigned only to shoot "B-role" for this story, which is mostly what I shot. I was one of two videographers on this story as nearly 1,000 people attended a church that seats around 800 people for the funeral of a mother and her son who were tragically killed in a drunk driving accident. My job was essentially done when we returned to the newsroom, as fellow videographer Ryan Loew planned to edit and publish the video. That was until news broke that Governor Jennifer Granholm was holding a press conference on the swine flu epidemic. Ryan was assigned to the conference, and I was assigned to edit and publish the video (as well as wrap up an audio clip I was editing for another article).
The idea of this video was to use one of the songs that two students sang in memory of their fellow student and friend. With the natural audio setting the mood of the story, I put together some of the stronger images of the event, including many hugs,tears, and the closing of the casket. I then included some of the stronger messages from the eulogy and closed the video with a parade of cars exiting the funeral home.
