On Tuesday, we visited "The Cage" in Gaylord and checked out some really nice (and expensive) Nikon D7100 cameras. The kind man working there walked us through how to use them. We learned about attaching microphones, how to focus them and how to capture videos. Between Tuesday and Thursday, my group and I individually composed our interview questions. On Thursday, we met in class for a few minutes and then went off to film. Brian, Rachel and I made our way to the second floor of Gaylord to conduct our interviews. We found an appealing group of chairs outside of Lindsey + Asp. Since we are the only group with three members, we only conducted two interviews. Each of us will use the footage we like best to create our two-minute videos using Premiere Pro. First, we set up the cameras, tripod and microphones. It took us a little bit to get the audio working, but we eventually figured it out. (Really glad we tested it). To start, I interviewed Rachel about her OU experience. I was in charge of the Nikon camera, while Brian videotaped from another angle with a handheld camera. After we got seven minutes of footage for Rachel's interview, we moved the cameras and chairs around, and she interviewed me. Rachel asked me about my perceptions of OU and Gaylord College. After we wrapped up my interview, we walked around Gaylord to film some B-roll. When we finally made it back to the classroom to look at our footage, we realized my footage of Rachel's interview was 100 percent blurry (hence the title of this post). Croom showed me how to focus the lens (that auto switch really comes in handy), and we went to find another spot to re-do her interview. Cameras are tricky!
