First, I should probably come clean right off the bat: I'm nothing more than a rank amateur. I do love the editing video I shoot but I'm just a Dad with a consumer camera and iMovie. No one is going to confuse my work with ANYTHING a pro can do and I have such a great appreciation for the work that all professional videographers do.
That being said, I'm wondering if any of you can help me with some advice on how to create a video to be shown at a team banquet next fall for a high school football team. I'm dealing with some serious creative blockage. I just don't know how to make this memorable. Last year, the Boosters organization paid a local guy $1500 to make a video, but those funds are not available this year and I've been asked if I could put something together. I've got a son on the team and will be at every game, so I said I could try.
Are there any of you who have created one of these and can give me ideas of how you painted a picture of the season? Can you share with me how the story unfolded on video? Can you tell me how the video unfolded...how did it begin...what was in the middle...and how did it end? Was there anything you can share that went over well? Mistakes to avoid?
I imagine doing one of these for a team that wins a championship can be bit easier, but I'm not sure about crafting something compelling with an ordinary season.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you can share.
