Lights....camera....action!

Many of you will hit the road soon and cover some of the area 1-4 ARB events. Please take the time to introduce yourself to the Army families and the Adopt-a-Unit organizers. They are interested in meeting you and learning more about what you're doing. Even if you are just shooting stills, you might think about conducting some interviews for your project. Take some notes and listen for a good soundbite or quote you can use to convey the message.

Shooting

Shooting Exercise - 

Great class last night.  Please keep in mind how you felt in front of the camera....when you're behind the camera interviewing someone.  Before you roll tape, consider the background of your subject, sound quality in the room or space and lighting.  And remember the film clips about finding story and voice for your project.
