Memory Shoot- Experiences

When shooting for this video, one of the issues I ran into that really affected the shots was that the sky was overcast for a recording that was entirely outdoors. I had checked the weather beforehand, and I had expected it to be partly sunny. The weather was the biggest issue, as it really affected the lighting. Another issue I ran into was there being no outlets for the lights at the parks. I drove around a few trying to find one that might have one, but I couldn't find any. I improvised a bit with battery-powered lights, and this could've been solved with a generator, but I wasn't sure about the price and time was running out at that point.

It was definitely an experience that was helpful overall though, and I discovered a few things I hadn't considered before. I worked with a child for the shooting, and she was a good actress for the shots, but directing her a few times made us both a little uneasy, and some moments came out a bit awkward. It was fun bringing the scenes to life, though, and I really feel like working with her and my crew member bonded us a bit as a group.
