Second task: shooting day.

Wednesday November 4th was the first day of shooting for our second video. The process was similar to the first video. We meet up at the Office of Communication to grab the gear and them we went to our first spot of filming. For that day we had 3 or 4 people scheduled. This second task will show different people related to the university saying what the school represent for them and also inviting everybody to the Giving Day (one day dedicated to donation for charity).

In all of the interviewees the process was pretty much the same: pick the location, set the lapel microphone on the interviewee, set the camera (ISO, exposure, focus, filter to get depth of fiel...) and record the lines. At this first day my partner was in charge of most of the filming and I was in charge of the audio. We did that because on the other day we had some filming schedule but she couldn't come to filme and I would do everything by myself. At this time our supervisors were just helping the interviewees with their lines. we spent the whole Wednesday doing that.

On Thursday 5th I went to the office at 8am to pick up the gear and head to the first filming of the day which should be done before 9am when I have class. I needed to set both audio and video gear by myself what was pretty quick because I really got used with the steps. In 10 minutes we were ready to go. A little before 9am we were done. Then and headed to my class.

After my class, I went back to the office to grab the gear again and record the last interviewee of this day. We went to the baseball field to do this shooting. There we've faced our most challenging audio capture since the start of my internship. Being in the middle of the field and with the wind blowing all the time, we had hard times to record the audio free from external noise. The cars in the streets nearby and the baseball player practicing, hitting the sticks, and yelling at each others were also a problem which was solved by asking them to stop. To avoid the wind going directly to the microphone, we used a jacket on top of the microphone. It worked in most of the time. We were got around 12:30.

There are more filming remaining to be done and we already have shooting for the next task scheduled. This week will be busy!
