Ved, Chris, Aleicia, Dani and me spent the day at the Newton Park to cover the Careers events that we taking place all over the campus.
Ved & Chris set up cameras in the main theatre to cover the seminars that were being given by a number of speakers - whilst the rest of us were the roving team covering the careers fair in the students union.
Aleicia, Dani & me took turns between Camera, Director and Sound and we managed to get all of the footage we wanted - we had discussed beforehand that we wanted to get plenty of student and exhibitor interviews, general views of the fair and stalls plus a 'walkthrough' of the fair that could be speed up or slowed down and used in the edit to join between interviews.
It was important to have a shotlist and a concept for the finished film before starting out filming as it made life a lot easier when gathering the footage - plus it meant that we got what we needed rather than just a random selection of interviews.
On reviewing the footage the thing that jumps out on certain takes is the level of background noise - even though we were using a Boom. It is possible the mic wasn't close enought to certain subjects but if we are filming in a similar environment again in the future I'll make sure that we have a radio mic as well so that we can get a closer perspective on the subjects.
I've taken on editing the careers fair section of the video so I'll post it up here when it's done !
