Behind the scenes
In Friday’s workshop we completed an exercise to familiarise ourselves with both the Sony MC50E and the interviewing process. Surprisingly we didn’t come into too many technical difficulties, the biggest one that comes to mind is the tripod not being secure enough so the camera would pan upwards slowly without us noticing.
Other difficulties we encountered included background noise which was out of our control. Filming outside may not have been the best idea as we picked up a lot of traffic and wind, as well as two women who were completely oblivious to us filming and stood talking loudly in the background of the shot for a very long time.
It was smooth sailing up until making this post, when trying to add photos of group bonding and behind the scenes exclusive for some reason the photos will not upload to WordPress. Luckily, I’ll get another blog post out of overcoming this problem.
