With the kickstart of the montage assignment and, of course, my IPP, it's time to start really learning some filming skills.
For my montage, I am going to be doing a bunch of filming at Fantasy Pole Dancing in Winnipeg. But I've realized, that busing with like 50 pounds of equipment would not be very ideal. Especially considering the area I'd be bussing to, and the high cost of the equipment. So, I figure that it would probably be more practical to use my Canon T3i. Yay for DSLR!
But that means that I know have to figure out how to use the video function on my camera - well. This means auto-nothing, because auto-anything is for losers, as my instructor has told us.
I won't have to start figuring out how to use the audio until later on, when I do my summer filming. I also hope to use my Canon for my documentary, to reduce costs for rentals over the summer. The college will be closed, so no free rentals for me!
I'm really excited to start getting to film some awesome stuff and start training up my skills as a videographer. I'm probably going to start living at the school more often for some psycho video editing, especially with this montage. It's going to take a ton of editing, and I really want to submit it to the Creative Communications Media Awards. But the annoying thing is, that the deadline is on April 5th for the awards - seven days before the deadline for the montage as an assignment!
But I have a really good feeling about my montage, and feel confident in myself for the award. It's just a matter of managing to finish it before the deadline, ugh!
Wish me luck!
