First video project

For this week's project I got a video camera and got some shots of the career fair at the MUB. It was pretty interesting, and I was surprised at how many people were there. Many of the people in the booths actually had gone to UNH and returned to find employees for their companies. It was nice getting to talk to a variety of people at the fair--it didn't feel as creepy as taking still photos.

When interviewing the employers and prospective UNH students, I was having trouble getting an interesting shot, not just a frame filled with a guy talking for a period of time. I already had to be pretty far away from the interviewee so that the shot is not too close, so I didn't have much space to move the camera around to get more of the background or other objects.

But I think I got a variety of shots--some wide range, and some close-ups of the conversations. I found the article on sequencing really helpful, and I kept in mind trying to get at least 10 second sequences.
