Wk 11: Tutorial

Tutorial
Today Dyy and I went over our drafting of the script for our final video product, after making some minor adjustments we went about filming. After collecting equipment (tripods, video cameras) we searched for an appropriate location to film in. Here we encountered some difficulty in locating a vacant and quiet space (building 80, building 9). For the next time we are to film around campus, we have learned to book ahead. We managed to secure a booking in building 9 (design studio). We used the two cameras that were hired to have two different angles focused on us (the subjects discussing the how-to-guide). We monitored sound levels on both cameras and will delete the audio from one camera when editing. A third camera was also employed to have a third “side angle”. The style of filming was limited as we only had one another to direct, film and coordinate therefore we shot in “one take” meaning we kept all three cameras rolling at once, not pausing in between shots. A benefit of this style, we hope is that our scripting will look a bit more naturalistic. Another positive to this was we didn’t have to waste time setting up again and again when we needed another shot.
