Whoopee! Shooting Day! Haley, Sakshi and I met at the TV studio to go shoot our package. Sarah and Sue came along with us to be our photographers. We got to the bowling alley and scoped out the scene. Not long after we got there we realized that we had forgotten our audio bag. So we had to go back and get it which kind of set us back. We shot a great interview with my boss. You could really tell that he’s used to being asked a lot of the same questions I asked him. He gave us an amazing selection of sound bytes to choose from. After that we had some trouble with our camera and the lighting, but we eventually figured it out. Sarah and Sue shot lots of b-roll of the bowling alley, game room, and bar. We interviewed an employee who works at the counter as well as a bartender. The bartender gave us a unique perspective since she is a smoker. We all brainstormed what the stand-up would be. We decided to shoot it outside right by the doors that had the Smoke-Free sign on them. Once we were done, we went back and Sarah captured out footage. We all decided to meet tomorrow morning to log our tape since we were so tired. I think this package is going to come out really nicely. Tonight I get to watch and critic my favorite news channel, CW 11. So I’m looking forward to that.
