Our second day of filming behind the scenes also went very well, much like last time. I, again, operated sound assisted with the camera. This time, I used the 'Shotgun' microphone and attached it to the front of the camera, just above the lens. This allowed both the camera operator and I to move about more freely without having the cumbersome boom pole and other sound equipment getting in the way. I monitored the sound via headphones as per usual.
The sound aspect went rather smoothly with very little background noise being picked up besides those that were being interviewed. All sound levels were level and there was no distortion form any loud noises present.
The footage captured mostly consisted of more interviews, mostly concentrating on how people felt on the week before the live show is broadcast, as well as cut-aways for the editing process. People seemed a lot more willing to speak to us this time around and end up giving some insightful information and good material that could be used during crucial points in the final edit.
We also got some three minute interviews with some of the people taking part in the show, including both of the presenters and the models who all seemed very positive about their experiences so far.
Everyone seemed a lot more confident this time around than before, perhaps because the run-throughs of the show are becoming a lot smoother thus people are feeling a lot better about the show itself running smoothly on the day. It will be interesting to see if nerves will start to kick in during the days before the live show.
When looking at the footage, there were some problems with the lighting. A lot of the footage captured appeared quite dark due to some mistakes we had made with the camera settings, most crucially, forgetting to white balance. However, we were able to fix most of this with some minor editing picture tweaks and made sure that we captured the rest of the footage to a better standard, which we did.
Overall, I felt this was another great day of filming and am happy with the footage caught.
