Last week for our scheduled work day, our group was able to get quite a bit done. We had a full day of a lot of different experience. It started early with Jeff and me meeting with Christine Vaughn around 1:00 pm after getting the equipment that was reserved the week prior. After fidgeting around with everything we finally got everything all set up. What was really awesome was that we were able to get that soft background and depth of field look by applying what we learned in our workshops and reading. We placed the camera at a good distance from the subject, made sure the subject was at a good distance from the background, and then also opened up the iris. Although it looked nice, the audio may have not been so friendly. There was constant drive-bys of ice-creame trucks, school busses, and planes. I really liked the aesthetics of our first interview, although the lighting was constantly changing so I don't know how it will look in post.
I'm not sure how our second interview will turn out. We tried shooting in the veteran housing, but there was not much visually appealing for a background. This interview was with Christine who was a veteran from the middle east and is now getting assistance so she can finish school at san marcos.
What was also cool about our workday is that we got to work really close with Christine Vaughn with some of the interviewees. I think we got a lot of good content as far as testimonials go, but I hope we get someone a little more emotional to drive this project to its full potential.
