"When I find a story worth doing I give 100% because those people I interview are for a good reason and they deserve the credit. Some are not as interesting than others but I try giving the person the best credit I can give them, and that comes through my packages," McPartland said.
"3rd place was a good start for me on my package. It just shows I can improve because the first and second place packages were well deserved. I know I can improve and get first place next year," McPartland said.
A video package is a lot more than just having a camera and filming, there is a shot system and McPartland explains and goes more in-depth for what else goes into planning.
"Planning a story is not easy but not hard. You have to build a relationship with your subject and you have to take an angle on the story and put effort into it. You have to be flexible and work around there schedule, not yours," McPartland said.
"The six-shot system is very important for any kind of package or film. Close-ups of: hands, face, or whatever the person is interacting with. You can't just have all medium shots or wide shots, it won't grab your viewers attention," McPartland said.
Editing the video is a whole different process, and it takes patience and time you have to make sure the package has a beginning, middle, and end.
"If not your package will not be interesting and will not grab your audiences attention," McPartland said.
