Behind the Documentary

A few weeks ago I was the Videographer for our documentary.

On this particular day was set building. I took advantage of setting up the JVC in different areas of the theater for test shots. I also decided this would be the best time to get still shots of the crew as they interact with each other off script.

 

The JVC is set up recording. I just came back inside from taking exterior shots of the building.

 

 

Lesson I Learned: During down times, test out different areas of your set and make mental notes of hot spots.

 



Practice Makes Perfect

My classmate (Desiree) music video shoot

 

 

Saturday (2/14/15) I helped my classmate shoot scenes from her music video. I was really only assisting with lighting and other minor needs. Just to think a week ago we were just being introduced to these camera's (Black Magic & JVC), and now we're in production; filming aimlessly.

 

I start filming (with my own camera; Nikon D3200) Thursday (2/18/15).

 

Lesson I Learned: there's NO such thing as TOO much PRE-PRODUCTION

Practice Makes Perfect...

 

 

One of many rehearsal for my music visual project.

 

In the control room creating my CG.

 

I remember having the concept in my head but not knowing how I was going to bring it to life. Finally my creative juices went into overload. I knew how I wanted my lighting, camera angles, transitions, and exactly how I was going to maneuver the switcher.

 

Lesson I Learned: Make sure to rehearse with every crew member, so they know exactly what u want and how you want it.
