This week at Transcendent Enterprise we had a different type of project of filming project. The project consisted of recording interviews of people for a promotional video for a company. Once we got to the location the setup process begun. One of the important things is setting up for a shoot is deciding the location. When the location is decided the camera is placed and the lights have to be setup on the spot where the interviewer is going to stand or sit. The location has to be marked since the camera set to focus on the person. When it comes to the lighting setup about three light have to be used to lit the subject correctly. I’ve also learned about the audio being very important. We had two different microphones. One of them was a shotgun mic and the other was a wireless lavalier mic. Shotgun mic has to be mounted and plugged directly to the camera using a XLR audio cable. The wireless mic has a transmitter and a receiver. The lav has to be clipped to the subject in order to capture good sound. Seeing all the elements working together was interesting is producing a high quality video.
