Covering the Hairitage Event

I had the opportunity to cover an event called Hairitage, which celebrated various hair textures and styles. The event featured multiple presentations on the history of hair, games, yoga, food, and hair specialists, including braiders. There was also a raffle with hair products. It offered a blend of knowledge, products, and the chance to have your hair styled. Many students attended, gaining valuable insights and celebrating the diversity of hair.

I felt honored to capture this event through my camera. The smiles on everyone’s faces were heartwarming. After filming, I began the task of compiling the footage to create a video showcasing the event. It turned out to be much more complicated of a task than I was used to. I was nervous at first, unsure of where to begin, as this was my first time working on something that would be shared publicly. But once I dove into the editing process, it was thrilling—I absolutely loved it! As I am in the final edits, selecting the best clips and finding the right soundtrack to truly capture the essence of the event is such a rewarding experience!

  1. I know the feeling. It can help to have something in mind for the final product so that you gather the right materials. Think about the type of shots that will help you tell the story in the editing room. Don’t be shy about making a checklist on paper so that you are more likely to get the material you need for the final product. This type of organization comes with experience, but then it makes the editing process much faster.
