On April 3 fellow Journalism 4953 student Heather Ronaldson and I worked together to learn about voters.
After much discussion we decided to follow one voter through her experience of voting and her opinions on the importance of voting and voter ID laws. We specifically decided to follow one woman, Alandria Gladney as she made her way to the polls.
Our adventure began at Marquette University Dental School where Gladney works. There we conducted a short interview about her opinions on the election and voting in general.

From there, we left the school and continued our interviewing in the car. Between potholes and stoplights filming proved to be difficult. However, we finally made it to the polling place and were able to film Gladney's complete voting experience.
The experience turned out to be very rewarding. Ronaldson and I learned a lot about Gladney's opinions and about working together in video and sound editing.

As a journalist, personally, this experience taught me a lot. I learned to be prepared for anything and that often things do not go the way you expect. Everything from technical difficulties to car troubles could have gone wrong but we planned ahead and were able to develop a quality project.
