My Project Shot List, and Why I Chose It
My Well-Schemed Plan to Make my Audio Project Come to Life!
For this project, I did things a bit backwards. To explain, the event I was covering for the podcast took place on Friday, October 18th. Therefore, I had a bit of a stricter time frame to work with. Luckily, my professor was kind enough to give details about project 8 ahead of time, so I could make sure I captured everything needed. Therefore, I had covered this event with my list last week – thus why most of the columns on the side of my list are marked “TRUE” instead of “FALSE”. So, for my shot list, I planned several recordings of various scenes such as the event environment, staff working, vendors and the people who partake in the event! Specifically covering the topics that were talked about during the interview I conducted. This way, the video being shown would have correlation to what was being said by the interviewee. I had also planned on taking several pictures that will be used supplementary as well – providing a good mixture of the two visual elements.
My Test Recording & Equipment
A Video of my Recording Conditions with The Equipment I used!
As far as capturing the visual elements of my project, I used my Iphone 12 to record the video, a Nikon D3500 to take pictures, as well as a hand-held tripod to attach to my phone for videos. I chose these specific tools because they were the most convenient items to carry around and easily capture videos and photos during a hectic event. Because my hands were rather full carrying around a camera, phone and tripod during the event – I unfortunately didn’t use much equipment in the way of lighting. However, for the majority of the event, natural sunlight that was captured in the recordings were perfect. To help make the recordings better quality, I manually switched some of the camera settings around on my Iphone as well as turning the exposure up or down on my phone during recordings to get the right kind of lighting I wanted.
This specific test video resembles the same conditions of the visual elements I captured – as they were all taken outside and (with the exception of two clips) during the day with natural sunlight. Additionally, this was taken with my handheld tripod that I used for the majority of my videos during the event as well.
