Filming outside – first time with media equipment
Filming outside today was interesting. I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front. Even though the acting was simple it was daunting because I’m not used to being set up and watched.
I found myself giving a lot of direction even when I wasn’t holding the camera. This was a great exercise that revealed a bit more about me and my capabilities and what I’m comfortable with doing.
unfortuntely I don’t know how to remove seperate video recordings from the main folder of videos from the movie camera (thats something i’ll have to learn whoops), SO i can’t attach an example but in one of the shots I’m using a hand-held technique to give that idea of the actors actually BEING filmed (as opposed to the camera operator being unnoticed by the actors).
I have never used a voice recorder before. I was impressed by the quality and ability of the microphone. Serena and I stayed in the classroom to record silence (as everyone else left to find places outside and around the building) and it was able to pick up small sounds made by Brian’s typing from the other side of the room.
