Jaclyn Kempisty and Chloe Flatley are both juniors at Central Michigan University, living together off-campus. Although the two have known each other since high school and lived together since their freshman year of college, thanks to the pandemic and being confined to their apartment most of the time, they’ve gotten a lot closer. Since they are both broadcast and cinematic arts majors, they have a class together and since the class is online they can do it from the same room and will often work on things together. They talked about how having some of the same classes was helpful especially this year as they haven’t had the chance to make friends in their classes.
Being together nearly all of the time also means that they have begun to pick up each other’s habits, like sayings. They talked about since they have the same interest at the moment, that being Minecraft streamers, the interest is lasting longer than it would have if they were alone. They can talk about it with each other and since they each focus on a different streamer they always have new information to share, and just keep bouncing the fixation back and forth, “like a ping pong ball”.
As for my experience filming this video, I’m glad I filmed Jaclyn and Chloe’s interview together, I was able to get a nice back and forth between them. I wish I was able to get more B-roll, Chloe had to leave earlier than she was supposed to. Overall, I think I did a good job on this video with what I had.
