Construction Accident

So we started our first news video last class.....

so my role in this video-project threesome is the camera person. I want to find unique shots and footage that others might not have, though for this first assignment it didn't work out that way considering we were all doing the same fake story. There's a lot more to the videoing someone than I thought; you need to make sure things are filmed before sunset in a lot of cases, make sure the setting is nice, nothing is going through the person's head, the lighting is right, etc. But it's a lot of fun. We haven't put anything onto the computer yet, and when we do that next class I have a feeling we're going to end up wanting to throw a computer out the window from the heat of the room and frustration. But you never know, we'll see.

Being in front of the camera is a lot scarier than I thought it would be. Luckily here I have second, third and fourth chances to get it right. I can't even imagine what it would be like reporting live. Hopefully as the semester progresses I'll get more comfortable in front of the camera. And stop stuttering...

For this news story i was the producer aka boss as well as a witness. Being the producer is pretty easy because i'm just saying if i think everything looks okay. But being a witness i also had to get on the camera which i thought was kinda hard since i didn't really know what the other groups wanted me to say...and i suck when i'm put on the spot...especially when its on camera haha. So with that said its probably good that i didn't end up being the newscaster.
