Interview Filming

The second day of filming. We had two filming sessions to take care of: three different locations to identify different type of sounds (solely for assignment purposes), and another feature for ‘Int Min Int’, this time an interview about an experience. The sound task was quite straight forward. We combined two groups to use the same equipment booking. The interview feature took a little more time, since we needed to set up the lighting and the interviewees background. I think we managed to complete today’s tasks successfully, and will show our progress to the lecturers concerned with our assignment.

In the coming few days we are planning to produce another interview feature as well as the conflict features on street art and gaming.

First day of filming

Today we began filming for one of our features which is about Street Art in Malta. It actually is a general introduction about the conflict topic that would be discussed in the studio next year. We went on locations such as San Ġwann and Msida Skate park. We filmed the various art works, however, we encountered several problems. Such problems included the cameras back focus, which was not adjusted appropriately resulting in a soft image. Also, the camera lens had some smudges that were visible on the video. The exposure was also of a slight problem. We had a properly lit subject however when trying to decrease the over-exposure we obtained a dark image.

Seeing that we obtained a fair amount of problems, we thought best to film all over again. This time counteracting the problems by having a back focus chart, and lens cloth.

Int Min Int – Update

For our next task involving the television programme Int Min Int, we need to plan, research and produce four features for two episodes. There is a general feature about the conflict that would be discuss during the studio segment, and a separate feature that would include either a strange experience or occupation of a particular individual. During today’s lecture, together with my team, we discussed topics for our features and created a simple schedule of production. Then, we would be able to research the subject and contact the necessary people.

The editing for these features will be carried out in January 2013.
