Shot list for B-Roll

The idea I have for my B-roll video is to show the journey of the little destination half marathon run my roommates and I are taking on this up coming weekend!

1- Show myself and my roommates in the camera, talking about the half marathon
2- 5 am Friday, show that we are leaving on the 7 hour journey, cut away to the car
3- Throughout the journey show little videos of the girls in the car, driving
4- Take video of myself when we are arriving to my house in FL, cut away to the house, the rooms in the house and my family
5- Show the food and activities of the weekend
6- Day of the race, take a video of the girls running the race, cut away to the crowd, (possibly mom tapes the finish?)
7- Show the celebration of completing the run! Cut away to food and drinks and activities

This is what I have brainstormed so far, I know that as I start to shoot it might change, or have to be adjusted. Also, in between shots, if needed, I will come on and explain the do's and don't's of creating the b-roll video!

Live Blog video shoot tips

Rule of Thirds
- divide image in camera viewfinder horizontal and vertical, stick things in the intersection of lines (most interesting things)

180 Degree
- Line between subjects. Put camera in the 180 degrees above or below, but not both

Shooting interviews
- Do your homework, know who you are talking to
- Have your questions written down on paper
- Don't as yes or no questions
- Ask your subject to look at you, not the camera
-Don't interrupt when asking a question

Shooting B Roll
-plan movements, interactions, and shot list
-set camera up to highest frame rate
-pre picked music
- release all energy and have something that leads into your video

More Interview Tips
- Diffuse your light
- Nose room- more space in front of the persons nose
-Head room- subject doesn't need any space above their head, compose your shot so subsets eyes are 2/3 above the frame
- Compose so your subject isn't breaking frame while they are talking, do not let hands pop in and out of the frame
- have a nice background

Video Shots!

On Thursday we were given a video camera and tripod. We also had a list of different shots we were going to take. I defiantly need some more practice, but this assignment showed me the basics, and helped me get somewhat familiar with the camera. Shoutout to my friend Mallory for being my subject!

Field House VR Tour

Suz and I worked on this practice VR tour together. We went to the field house and took 360 pictures of areas we were familiar with.
