Black Ice Day Five Shooting

Final day in which we finished filming our B roll.

Black Ice Day Four shooting

Today was an interesting day for the group that I'm in, we didn't have either the cameraman, light/sound assistant or producer. It was a three person team working with both lights, interviewing the guest speakers, sound- both "Ready Roll" and "Shotgun Mircrophone", as well as camera.
This ended up being overcome by me doing the lighting first before the interviewee's showing up, I then set up "Shotgun Microphone" onto the "Boom Poll" to see if it was working fine, I laid down the "Ready Roll" on the table as a safety measure to make sure we get perfect sound.
After the interviewee's came in I double checked see if lighting was fine in case different height but everything was fine, at the end of the filming we didn't have any problems where we would go over time.

This was also first time I had to do sound in a documentory group, using a "Boom Pole" which can be a very painful job, I had to get comfortable the whole two interviews while being close enough to record the sound but not too close where the "Boom Pole" shows on camera.

Black Ice Day Three shooting

Today I was finally able to do some lighting work in the studio for this group, we had to light up objects such as pens and spinning globe for our b roll.
I really like how the Globe came out though, the lights and spinning gave a really interesting effect, we also did 3 point lighting and used candle light to get an olden day's feel, someone on the desk with an old fasioned ink pen which represented a scientist.

Black Ice Day Two shooting

We did some more filming yesterday of Broll's, such as tramlines and factories,
in which Joe drove us around in his car. Though he did end up going in the wrong direction *TWICE*, I dont drive but im sure your not meant drive on the tram lines.

Well it was a cold day but was prepared this time dressed all warm, and we ended up having no problems filming, although we didnt get footage of a train going by due too they wouldnt let us on platform without a ticket.
