This past week I visited in Jefferson County with the Early Head Start program at TA Lowery. To be honest, stepping in I did not know what to expect. Last week was the first time that I felt that my project officially became hands on! I came in contact with the families face to face and was able to get some pretty amazing pictures, if I do say so myself. I'm still working on how I am going to incorporate the video as the sound was a little... well, off. The video that I took inside of the classroom was some of the better footage where I was able to capture more of the pure footage with the children at play. This week I will be meeting with more families one on one to get some clips to use for voice-overs in the two short videos I will be creating.
If there is one thing that I learned this week, it is that MOST people are extremely awkward when a camera is around. It seemed like even the children knew that they were on tape! This week's helpful hint from Monica was to use a still image and do a voice-over since some people do not feel comfortable in front of a camera. I feel like this will probably work better over time because they will become more comfortable with a microphone present lying on a table opposed to a camera in their face.
I still have a LOT of work to do, but I'm ready! This week will conclude my filming, then it's on to the fun stuff-- putting it all together:)!
Until next time...
