Special skills and interviews
This morning we were learning how to use the
cameras and the microphone.
We learnt how to use the gun mic which looks like a
gun wrapped in a bit of fluff so that it looks like a fox’s tail! We had to point
the gun mic at the person who’s talking. It had to be close enough to pick up
the sounds but also not in the camera’s way. It was really difficult to hold
the microphone still for a long time. Also, we learnt how to adjust the cameras
special settings to make the shot look perfect. For instance, white balance,
iris, focus, framing as well as the level of sound.
When we were confident using the equipment we were
ready to practice some interviews. We were interviewing Mr Ajiban, our teaching
assistant, and Miss Scheinider, Gateway’s Deputy Head. While interviewing, Miss
Scheinider told us that she once got stuck in the train and all the lights went
out in the tunnel and she said it was really dark and scary. We interviewed Mr
Harwood (teacher) afterwards and he said that he didn’t like going on the tube
during the rush hours because everyone kept barging each other to get to a
seat. Now Mr Harwood comes to school by bike.
We are looking forward to conducting more
interviews at the Acton Train Depot tomorrow. We are all very very excited!
