Looking Back on Interviewing Jeffrey Pollack
My story turned out alright, except that it was really, really long. I spent quite a while attempting to edit it down, and after it shed a few hundred words I had to stop. There was no way I could cut out any more of the vital information in my profile on Jeffrey Pollack, and my justification is this: this man is 64 years old and has had a very full, exciting life. It’s hard to condense his story into 1000 words. I was also disappointed that I stupidly filmed my video in “night vision”, and that Mr. Pollack’s old club the Punchline wasn’t open when we wanted so we couldn’t go in. Thus, my video wasn’t as exciting as I originally envisioned. But overall, I think my profile on Jeffrey Pollack turned out pretty darn good.
I would organize my time better, especially when filming the video. It was just hard to coordinate with Mr. Pollack because he has a full schedule every day he’s in the city. But it would have been better to meet later in the afternoon/early evening so that we could have gotten into the Punchline. That would have really made the video. Oh, and a little more knowledge about how to use my own camera!
