Lisa Zhou

The most valuable lesson I learned from this assignment is that I must double-check the ‘gain’ setting on my audio recorder before recording anything. Anyways, my editor Meghan Krane did an awesome job on the slideshow. I love the way she edited the audio and put it together with the photographs. She also made a key contribution to the text and should be credited for that. I believe what she has done overall was creatively way above standard editing. Thumbs up!Again, the best part about doing a Boone Life story was to meet new people. It was a joy visit Jianhua, Yichun and Lisa at their home. They were very hospitable. Her teacher Ms.Partington has been very kind and helpful, too. She was very natural even when I was recording her voice. Lee School is a fun place to work. The school administration, the staff and the teachers made everything easier for me. Lisa was a little shy at the beginning but eventually she got used to my presence. She is a fabulous child and also her classmates are. Working with children certainly requires a little more patience. It takes time for them to acknowledge you first and when you are acknowledged, you have to deal with their curiosity. But it is fun!One last remark I would like to make is about the layout. Our designer Trish did absolutely great. I especially like the way she dealt with the title. It really adds to the presentation.- Serkan
