My role was camera 2. I was pleased to get this role first up. I am interested in camera the most at this stage of the course. This will probably change but i am enjoying camera work and being on the floor during shoots. For camera 2 i had to start of with a MS of the guest and then move to the graphic cards then back over to the interviewer. Camera 1 had all the tricky stuff. Im not bitter im just heartbroken. I wrote a song about it. It was interesting during the interview as the director Jeff (who did a freaking good job) called the shots. I felt like i was on the ball for the shoot. I wasn’t corrected on my shots very often at all, the only changes Jeff made were when he wanted it to change from a MS to a MCU on the interviewer. At the very end Jeff called me to get a wide shot of the studio, cameras included. It took me by suprise a little bit but got the shot he was after. I got a lot of confidence out of the exercise and some very useful instructions from Pat and Bruce (and Jeff). I feel that i can control the camera and the pedastal so much more effeciently since we started and i can now spot better shots easier and understand the aesthetics a lot more. I felt as a group we worked really well and we continue to better ourselves.
