- Finished watching Mobile Journalism videos
- Discussed students taking initiative of their own learning. If there were SPECIFIC areas of the iTunes U course they would like to see revised, to include those thoughts on their Google Doc reflections.
- Watched Volume 1 of Video Coach
- Learning field camera operation and Final Cut Pro X next class
- Shoot in SEQUENCES
- A sequence uses AT LEAST Wide-Medium-Tight shots. Not 1 shot of BRoll, not 2 shots of BRoll, AT LEAST 3!
- Main light source goes behind the camera
- Use manual focus, white balance and iris
- Shoot using the Rule of Thirds
- Alternate interview rule of thirds for visual variety
- NO shot that we see in the final edit should be less than 3 seconds or longer than 7 seconds
- Always shoot more BRoll than you need
- Record HANDLES - seconds on the front end and back end of what you actually want to capture in your footage. Allows for easy place to cut and edit.
