Day 4 Observation

Trial-and-errors and practices make perfect.

Be prepared with plenty of B-rolls, it’s never enough.

Kodak Zi8 is not ideal for close shots. Any shot that’s within 2~3 feet would appear very fuzzy and blurry.

It's probably a good idea to over the interview questions a few times before the main shoot, otherwise there will be a lot of hum, oh, huh, so, ah, eh, or pauses waiting for you to cut out.

Shooting interview and footage at indoor easily let you forget taking some wide shots.
A great storyteller may not be a good video editor, vice versa.

Save constantly! The editing program is kinda tricky if you are unfamiliar with.

Use “+” and “-” to magnify or minimize the inspection of time line.

For Adobe Premiere:
ctrl+shift+z = ctrl+y (paste)
- ,+ = ctrl + "-" , ctrl + "+" (to fold, to expand)
page down, page up = next left or right clip

The diamond shape dot on sequence is called “key frame.”
