Our last shoot was on Thursday, where we spent a good two hours interviewing Jo. As expected, we got great material from her for narrating purposes as well as interview footage. She did a great job of answering the questions, and even expanding on them, which allowed for great stories about the mentors and kids that we didn’t expect. We did initially encounter problems with the equipment, and figuring out how to set up the cameras and the lights in Jo’s office to get the best image and composition, but we pulled through in the end! At this point our group is fairly comfortable as far as communicating with each other, so we have no problem suggesting different takes or ways of going about the shooting/interviewing and that makes for a great work environment.
Our next step is to get footage of two more staff members at Stepping Up, perhaps a few more interviews, but we seem to be pretty much done with shooting. We’ll be off to the editing soon! At this point we’re ready to get cracking after Spring Break. I’m really excited about how smoothly the gears seem to be rolling, and I hope I didn’t just jinx our group by saying that!
No Jinx!
