Tonight with the help of my better half, I was able to practice on shooting close-ups. In addition to getting some hands on experience using the zoom function and doing a reveal, I also learned some things about fair game policies when it comes to commercial clips (which I may have interpreted wrong). Despite some of the silly, things that Johnny says in this piece to get a rise out of me, it was really fun to work with him and the camera. I edited this video in Adobe Premiere 6.5 and after recording Mapp’s monologue, I created a makeshift soft box, by taping a small plant light to the inside of an aluminum foil-lined box to see how it might affect the heavy shadow that showed up in this one. I still have a lot of work to do to improve.
