Work it out.

So, I didn't make it into my internship last friday because I was sick. So when I came back yesterday I had a lot of making up to do(I'm still a little behind but I came in early to make up for it). Also there has been an issue with not being able to make the metro fare. Both things I needed to discuss with Rosemary and I worked it out. Yesterday,

Yesterday was a rally in Freedom Plaza(D.C) Occupy Wallstreet or Occupy D.C. The other two interns and I went out to shoot! It was great going to something like this! A few things I learned while doing this are:
A. It is very difficult to shoot in a tight crowd
B. If you get someone to say their name and that it is ok for them to be filmed on camera then it is as good as a release form.
C. Big events, you want a tripod set up for certain things like the stage. But if you cannot get close enough you will get lots of people walking in front of the camera.
D. You need a tripod for interviews but it is difficult to set one up when you are in a crowd. people will trip over it.

Just a few things. We ended up not even being able to set up the tripod! So the camera is very shaky. Sometimes my arms were getting tired. They still feel sore now.

After being pushed and shoved and stepped on, we came back to the office and reviewed the footage. Even though I did the white balance like 3 times in the shoot, it was still very bright. Or very Hot. The sun was high noon when we go there.
 We work great as a team, when there is communication. No one could hear me, and before we left Catherine and Paul both gave Nahaily and I a list of how to do things!
Keep your back to the sun
Have the Interviewer next to the camera not in front of it
Let the Interviewee hold their own microphone(You don't want the arm to be in view of the camera unless its their own arm)

 In the end we worked it out. And now we have to put the script together for our rally and edit it! Today Paul is going to show us how to use Avid.
