Filming was really fun! It was so fun being part of the winter guard environment during this process.
Monday: The winter guard rehearses on Mondays and Wednesdays in the school cafeteria. We filmed Yadrien’s (winter guard vet) interview in 2nd period, which is guard class, as well as Maria (Sergeant), Vivi (newbie) and Julia (vet) interviews after school from 3-4pm before their rehearsal started. I was behind the camera while Kenna interviewed them. We tried to make our interview shots for each person as unique as possible, since we find its more engaging that way. So we shot a couple interviews in the school courtyard, and some inside the band room. For the shots in the courtyard we added guard equipment in the background to try and tie it back in.
Later that day I filmed some of their rehearsal for b-roll from about 6-7:30pm. Since Kenna is in guard she has to practice, so I filmed by my self. I stuck the shot list and even got a couple of extra shots I thought looked good. Once everyone left, we took advantage of the empty cafeteria and interviewed Erick (coach) to wrap up shooting for the day! The only downside to this is that the sun was down and the cafe looked super dark, a light could have benefited us if we had brought one.
