Lesson Five

We were to continue our interviews in this lesson! We had to get some footage to use in our next lesson for editing, which I was quite looking forward to. I love me some editing!

We were arranged into our previous groups for this task, which I was quite pleased about! Although when we went down to pick up the kit, one of our members just walked off, leaving us one member short without explanation... we managed in the end, but it would've been nice to have her stay and lend a helping hand. 

I learned to take more control in this lesson, which is progress! While I wasn't quite in charge of the camera yet, I set out to ask people if we could interview them (before, I was too scared to even do that!). Baby steps, baby steps. 

Luckily there's this page that was created for hesitant people like myself:


It gives out advice when it comes to approaching people for interviews! I need to remember that "even if you're smiling, some people won't stop. That might be because they are in a rush or don't feel comfortable. Whatever the reason, remember it's nothing to do with you". I need to stop taking things so personally!
