GROUP BLOG POST #2 DUE

On our first day of shooting, we found certain things to be more difficult than others. We were using a regular (picture) camera rather than a video camera, so we were not sure how all the clips would fit together in the end. We knew we would be taking shots from different locations, and the lighting and sound were different in each shot. Since we wanted the clips to flow seamlessly, we tried to find areas that would be similar.

Other than that, we did not have very many problems. We were able to follow our creative direction in showing the "Green Giant" going through the process of a typical sustainable day at Champlain College. We created an introduction so that the audience will know what the point of the video is and who the character is. This seemed to be easier to understand rather that just throwing the audience right into the story.

The original concept was to be more of a story than information, however, we felt it was important to explain what each of the green solutions was. This way, if there were to be someone who is not from Champlain watching our video they would not be confused.

Overall, our first day of shooting was a GREAT success!
