Project 2 - Evaluation of Filming (2nd Shoot)



I am very glad that we decided to go back and re-shoot some of our footage because I'm much happier with the results. As it was such lovely weather we decided to shoot Joe's performance outside so our video will have some variation in location and we won't be confined to the recording studio. We were able to use two cameras this time to get some great shots. The first camera was set up on the tripod and left stationary throughout the performance but we decided to use the second camera to get some nice close up, hand held shots. The footage from both cameras will be mixed together, switching back and forth from one another. 

I think that the interview with Joe was much better this time round. He was much more relaxed as he had an idea of the kind of things we were going to ask him. Our whole approach to asking the questions was also more relaxed, Shannon basically just had a chat with him instead of firing questions and this helped to put him at ease as it created more of a friendly atmosphere. 

Poor sound levels were quite a big issue with what we had previously shot and we were worried that we wouldn't be able to rectify this. Luckily, this time we made sure that we were recording at the correct levels which will save us from doing too much editing in post production.
