Creativity & Activity LO2 (01/19/20) Reflection & Growth from Documentary Filmmaking


As I had hoped to get to do in this term, I was able to grow my repertoire of skills and build on my past experiences working with professional music recording equipment Adobe Premiere Pro. Due to my experience with recording equipment from making music and interning in a recording studio, I really wanted to learn more about the process of recording and how to use the audio equipment. I learned how to set up and handle the microphones, audio recorders, and microphone boom to use in the filming of my group's documentary. Our documentary was an interview with a husband and wife who own local bars and cafes in the area. During the whole process, our group faced many unforeseen obstacles. We faced difficulties when scheduling the interview, shooting the whole interview in the wrong framing, and spending hours trying to get rid of the background noise and music that was playing in the cafe. However, we worked to the best of our abilities to find a solution to all of the challenges that we faced and persevered. It was a very tedious process and although our documentary was not of the same calibre as the ones we had watched, we all still felt proud to call it ours and now know what factors and potential issues to plan for in the future.
