I went to the Career Center yesterday, wednesday 12/3/08, from noon until around 2:00 p.m. to observe, record and possibly interview people coming in and out of the Center. During this time the Center was holding an event for juniors and seniors entitled Career Decisions Clinic.
This event provided me with great footage and several quality interviews with students about the function of the Career Center and the impact of the current economy on their futures.
I shot about 25 ten to 15 second shots of B-Roll and i shot five student interviews. One of the problems that i encountered during the interviews was that the digital handheld camcorder does not allow you to separate between the natural sound and the sound being produced by the source. This actually impacted the first three interviews i did. When i played those interviews back it was difficult for me to hear the source's responses over the background noise.
As a result, i decided to conduct my final two interviews (which both turned out to be very productive interviews) outside, away from all of the noise.
I captured the 40 or so shots to Final Cut and then labeled each of them with an appropriate title to make my life easier when im putting the package together.
Ive got a meeting with three of the Center's employees in about a half hour. Im hoping that once these are finished all i will have left to do is actually write the story and make the package...
