The choose of location:

As Rebecca will be talking about her daily life as a uni students, and also else things she does outside uni. I have chosen to shoot inside uni, at the court beside building 11. The setting was Rebecca sitting on the bench waiting for her class and doing her make up, I(the camera) was looking for someone to interview and suddenly saw Rebecca.

Use of Camera:

The interview with Rebecca was separated to two parts, the first part was hand-held but the second part was fixed with the tripod. I have designed to shoot from the interviewer’s eye sight, especially at the beginning when I ‘discovered’ my interviewee, walked toward her and ask for her permission to interview. Moving to the second part, the interviewer has sat down along with her and chat with her.

Audio:

I think audio will be something I will plan more carefully next time, as this is the first time to interview while holding the camera it was quite hard to control both of them well. Without a microphone around me, the recording of my voice wasn’t that loud enough for the audience to hear, its probably covered a lot by the sound of the wind, so I have to type up the questions on the frame while editing.

For the next time, I think I will plan to get someone else to ask the question for me and let both of interviewer and interviewee near the microphone. Or if I do have enough time, I will re-record the questions after the shooting, and add them into the track. The reason I haven’t got time to figure out this time was because when I finish all the recording afterwards, I found the new recordings don’t have the same ambient sound and it was way louder than the interviewee’s voice either.

Exposure & white balance:

The exposure and white balance were not too complicated under a sunny day, what I did was to make sure the frame was not over exposed that cause the subject too bright. Colour tone through out the whole interview was cool but quite similar to the actual colour.
