repeat

Filmed the second Wilson interview. I'm pretty sure this one will be fine. The audio may not be the best as we filmed it in a bathroom, I think there might be a slight echo, but it's not a big problem. We filmed in the bathroom because he had a whole board of badges in there which, as a backdrop, gave the impression that he is a thoughtful and opinionated teenager. He was more comfortable with what he was saying this time having done it before.

We went back to the house on Abel Smith Street to talk about Food Not Bombs and found it empty. We went back later in the evening and were met by the caretaker who told us that the guy we had talked to the day before wasn't a part of their projects and had no idea what he was talking about. He invited us to leave a note asking if anyone at the house would give us an interview, but wasn't very optimistic about our chances of finding anyone. We left a note but it was all very disheartening.

We had nothing to do for the rest of our afternoon so we filmed some B-roll footage of some dumpsters we found behind Manners Mall. The light was pretty bluish, but at this point we were very tired and just wanted something done and weren't worrying about that. We took turns filming and it was good to get some more practise with the camera. It is always good to have some spare cutaway footage, anyway.

Dylan introduced us to Scotty, who said he would defintely be keen to give us an interview and might even let him film him dumpster diving. Paloma will set up an interview time with him on facebook. Paloma has also texted Jo Cain again, and Wilson has promised to call him, but still no answer.

We looked at the footage from the SECOND Wilson interview. It's alright..but we don't love it. The line of the skirting board in the background is skewed and the lighting is terrible. We failed to notice the huge shadows under Wilson's eyes, which , for me, ruins the shot. The sound is better than I thought it would be, no echo at all. However, we are going to shoot again. All this repetition has taught us the hard way to check and recheck our lighting, sound , lines, framing, angles and everything else before we rush into filming.
