Capstone Filming

Capstone is more demanding than I thought; however, I feel like I am learning quite a bit in the areas that go along with my news program.  I did some research about what to do for a news program and this research made my life a lot easier.  The part I have realized is the hardest in this series is the stories that news reporters cover.  Getting good stories that are interesting are the hardest part, at least for me, and it is tough to make a boring story an interesting story.  I have learn quite a bit about cameras and camera angles too.  This is something I was very interested in after I filmed.  While filming I made sure that I got many different angles, if I could, and seeing which angles are more effective was very enlightening.  Depending what type of feeling you want to get out of your story you need to film a certain way and depending how you shoot a story can change the perspective of the story.  The other part of filming I noticed is the zooming in and out on characters or scenes.  If you do not move the camera smoothly and if you zoom in or out too quickly the shot will not be as good.  The filming aspect of this was very interesting too me and I learned a lot through experimentation.
