I am hoping to get most of my footage by the end of the weekend. First thing will be to play with cameras in Dinand and see how that goes, to make sure I will be prepared for when I am standing in front of my two actors and have some clue of how to shoot a video.
In Dinand, I want to get some shots of the stacks, people checking out books, whoever is working the desk, and maybe the facade of the building and people walking in and out. I want to have plenty of footage to choose from for final editing. Better to have too much than not enough.
Next step: choose a classroom to function as a news studio, find a time when it will be open. I will also need to make sure there isn't too much ambient sound, and for that reason Millard is out of the question.
I will need to check out at least two video cameras from the studio library so I can cut between a shot of both actors and do closeups. Ideally I would have three: the central cam, and one for each character. My hope is that the interview can be just one continuous take, even if we have to practice a few times first.
