Today we were introduced to the first University camera we get to use. I was super excited to see something super professional, I guess I can wait till like third year or something. But we took these cute little guys out for a test drive and they are really quite versatile, though they lack nice lenses and big sensors, they do one thing right, they’re easy to use when you don’t know what you’re doing. Unfortunately, the moment I tried to access any setting that was even remotely advanced, it became extremely convoluted yes, I know, sad face but our class banded together as one and worked it out.

As a group of four, a few of us headed out and filmed an interview exercise, though we seemed to have misunderstood a few elements of the brief. That being said, I still think the footage we got was decent, we offloaded our footage and myself and Bronte edited our video together. Bronte is an A plus human, but she didn’t get into the Media course to edit videos so I was more than happy to help her smash the video out in preparation for our Project Brief 3. Here is the final result:

Also here’s one of my favourite screen grabs from a particularly fantastic piece of footage:
