Our group decided it would be best to study our locations for this assignment. Saturday we spent 4hrs at the outside location downtown and 2hrs at my house which is the second location. I felt that it took some time to feel comfortable with the camera. Actually as I was shooting I became more aware of what I was doing the more I did it. It was fun to plan where to get good compositional shots. It is not so fun having to move the camera and tripod around the site to get the position that you want. After the long and cold outdoor shoot, we got to my house where we realized that we had the camera's white balance setting still on the florescence. This was a horrible discovery, but on Monday we redeemed ourselves and did more shots around the school so to see the difference of the settings from the WRONG to correct white balance. It truly does make a difference!!! Monday we spent about another 3-4hrs re-shooting, and before that we did a little meet and greet with crew and cast, we are trying to figure out everyone's schedule so that we can organize our pre-production packets. After all that time with the camera I am starting to feel more comfortable. I just worry that there is so much to remember and think about when setting up and shooting. I do not think that our group will forget to set the white balance after that mistake! I really hope that we do not make another big mistake like that again!
Here are a couple of my favorite compositioanl images I took on our shoot.
