Class Reflection: April 7th, 2011

When we got into class today, we did our usual logging into the computer and writing that we were here on Facebook.  After that, Doc Chris took some time to discuss with us what was expected from us in the next final weeks of class. Doc Chris explained that we needed to have our commercial done by the time Jay gets back so we can edit it.  He also mentioned the different speakers who wanted to come in for us to interview.  Our group was appointed Eric D. Goodman.  During class I emailed Eric D. Goodman to ask if he was able to come participate in an interview with our class.

After that, Doc Chris let us use the cameras and take them to shoot some footage for our commercials.  This was the first time we would be using the camera to shoot some footage for our commercial.  Our commercial is for Subway.  We got the camera and we set off to get some footage, little did we know we were going to have major camera trouble.  Our camera was not recording and there were also zebra lines throughout the film indicating that there was a lot of light exposure. We called Doc Chris and he came over to help us.  He was unable to figure it out either, so we went back to the classroom to seek more help.  Right as we entered the classroom, the video camera started working again.  Then, finally we went off to shoot some footage.  We got a lot of nice footage, but we are still not finished shooting everything.  After we were done we came back to class and dropped the camera off.

Todays class was a lot of fun.  It was nice working with the cameras and actually video taping.  It was really nice Doc Chris helped us out with the camera and got it to work so we could get some footage.  In all, i really enjoyed todays class!
