This was the second time
that I have shot a video interview. The first one was in the fundamentals class
and we didn’t do any lighting adjustments except for picking a different
location. So this would be the first attempt at lighting for a video. It was
not a very good experience.
I understand everything that needed to be done. But the
output wasn’t what I had hoped. The video was underexposed. It looked fine
while I was recording, but I was just looking at the screen and since it was in
a dark room with no light in that area of the room, it obviously appeared
brighter. I also was to tight with the crop with the main camera angle. I
should have backed it out a little bit more. The secondary shot I was fine
with.
The audio worked well, and I have no complaints about
that. The only possible issue was from the vocal range of my subject. There
were a few instances where the audio clipped, but they were in sections that
weren’t essential to the interview so I was able to edit them out.
The editing process was fairly easy, and I actually
enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. There are some quick cuts but
there are 100 percent on purpose. The subject had a lot of moments where he
would have an addition to his comment, so I wanted it to seem like it was
another part of his brain talking in that moment. That is why I cut to a
different angle for only a second or two. It was purely a cinematic technique.
I definitely understand how to do everything with this
assignment. I just wasn’t successful in my application. I would have like to
reshoot this assignment but time constraints didn’t permit that. This type of
work is something that I am definitely interested in pursuing further,
especially the editing part.
