COMM 360: The Shoot

While much of the shoot was trial and error as per any project, it was a great experience to learn more about certain roles I was able to work on in the process. During the first day I was able to run the switch board; granted it didn't get much use, but being able to use the slider and switchers as practice was great in terms of being able to fully understand how they may be used correctly. Sadly was not able to do much else other than try to keep the noise level on set to a minimum.

Second day I tried my hands at the lighting which was certainly a new task to me since I had not worked with studio lights prior. Theatre lights for the stage from about 4 years about had been about the crux of my experience thus far. Working to create just the right atmosphere and dynamic with three point lighting was daunting at first but with the shared knowledge of myself and the others assigned we were able to accomplish this in a decisive manner. The flaps on the furthest fill light were crucial to keeping the shadows off the subjects neckline which created a much more solid image we were aiming for. In this sense we were able to improve upon the lighting of the prior shoot.
