Week 7

This week we got another interview done, this time with Sarah. We decided to cut one of the girls because she just wasn’t fitting in with the central idea. We’re planning on interviewing Quincy this week. I put in a request for the camera for Tuesday so we can have everything out early to make sure it’s all charged. Last time we rented out the equipment right before we had to film and the H4n was almost dead. We showed our two-minute clip of B roll in class last week and got some really good suggestions. The footage was extremely shaky because we didn’t use a tripod the first day we shot and that was all we used for the B roll clip. I’m glad my group is being patient with me, this is my first time being DP so I’m not 100% comfortable with being the one behind the camera, but I’m working on it. I rented out the camera again last week to just mess around with it and get more accustomed to using it. Taylor said she is happy to help me whenever I have questions with which is great, and I know I can ask other people in the class for advice. From now on I’m going to be doing the sound though, so I’m excited about that.
