My partner and I ran into a few problems when filming our interview with Mr. Gallen. We even had to completely reshoot the interview due to poor lighting and issues with sound. This taught me to always double check the exposure and make sure the camera is white balanced. We filmed in the the studio where ram report is filmed. This gave us access to a simple grey background and good lighting after we figured out how to control the exposure. Though it was stressful having to reshoot, I’m glad we did because the the video turned out a lot more clear and neat looking. Filming more than once also allowed me to have more film to choose from when editing the video. This was helpful.

Our final project, “Humans of Ladue” required us to select a person and interview them. I ran into many obstacles in trying to complete this project. Firstly, my partner and I ran on very different schedules making it hard to find a good time to meet and shoot. Our original person owe were going to interview also had a very different schedule than my partner and I. We spent two class periods trying to find times to meet until eventually we decided to find a new person to interview. I had initially thought of my dad but once again, busy schedules got in the way. After three class periods with little to no progress, I approached Mr. Gallen, a paraprofessional who has been in our classroom everyday since the beginning of the year assisting students. Mr Gallen works with the special school district and works one on one with kids. I had seen him around school but never really knew what his job entailed. He was very open to helping us with our interview. I struggled to collect B-role and had to opt for two different days of filming (all of which his cloths changed). Because of this I had to be cautious of continuity errors. All in all, though this project was challenging, I learned a lot about productivity when it comes to filming and think I was successful in completing the project to the best of my abilities given the circumstances. |
