Well Today was my first day  at working  under Professor Vargas. The previous day  he called and told me to bring my  DSLR camera. He wanted to test me to see  how familiar I was with camera  equipment  and photography. I told him that I have  previous experience taking still photo and portraits however I haven’t had  any type of studio Videography. For the whole day we talk and explained the different part of the equipment  we have been using. I was taught how to properly  set up a green screen and tripod and many light stands. Though I had experience with this type of equipment before while doing Still Photography, setting it up to fit the need of a Videographer is a entirely different experience.

The  Reason why we Were practicing setting up the Studio is because we  was getting ready  for to film some instruction videos   for the  school’s website. We had to  help new students  were  learning how to use the Cuny.edu  website  as well as assess their personal information from the school. I also  had to stand in front of the camera  as a test subject.   I can’t stand being In front of the camera. I must admit  it was fun  though. I can’t wait to  see how this  shoot  goes  in  a few  days.

So far I only worked one on one with the Professor. I asked him different questions about how he  got  to his position. I told him all I have going through this semester and how discouraged I was. He told me that  it wasn’t a single artist or graphic designer that never went through the same feeling once or twice  during their career. The most important thing  he told me was to keep going and that it was only the beginning. I must say I am excited.
