in this midterm break, we decided to film some footages for our documentary, we are going to film in two days, one day for the old barista,”the one star cafe’, one day for the young baristas, ‘il fornilio’ i was quite excited to film the documentary with my team members.
in the first day(shooting in il fornilio) we were all stressed out and panic when we encountered with some technical issues, like the color adjusting and the audio, but the issues are all sorted out, even thought it wasted some time in the actual shooting, luckily, the interviewer was quite happy to work with us and no complain at all. The shooting goes fine and we were all kind of confidence with the footages, the lighting in that cafe is a little bit dark, but it is what we are looking for. There is a problem that in the progress of barista making coffee, the shots are quite dark(because there is no too much lighting in front of the coffee machine) and then could not see very clearly. We sorted it out with the lighting from other place.
this is our interviewing place, I quite like this background in the scene where we have been waiting for a customer to finish her meal for long time, but it deserves. hahah
In the actual interviewing scene, we didnt use the lighting, because there is one soft lighting in the top of the interviewer, so it can gives a natural moment.
In this first interviewing, I have learned:
- check all the gears before interviewing, avoid the issue of audio volume level, the camera color adjusting.
- having the footages that accordance with the interviewing
- understand the interviewing place might be out of control, like cafe, there are quite a lot of customers and the audio of interviewing might be not clear.
- talk to the interviewee like a friend,capture their natural expression.
