Blog #3 Expert Interview

We will interview the President of the Saber Fitness Club, Christopher, for our expert interview. He is the creator of the club. The expert interview with Christopher will be shot at Rory's house, more specifically, in the living room of the house. We plan to use natural light and hope the interview has a natural, conversational tone and rhythm to it. The informal, relaxed setting will give the interview a light, friendly tone, which we think matches the atmosphere and goals of the club and its members. The questions we came up with for the expert interview are; what is the club, what is the idea or purpose behind the club, are their requirement for joining the club, what does a typical practice look like, how did you come up with different styles of choreography, what do you hope for in the future for the club, what's your favorite part of the club, do club members need to be Star Wars fans in order to join, and are the offices within the club organized differently from other clubs? We will do our vox pops at a Saber Fitness Club practice on September eighteenth outside of the Warwick Ballroom, where club practices are held every Monday. Three questions we have come up with for our vox pop are; what do you think of the club, why do you recommend others join the club, and what do you feel you get out of being a member of the Saber Fitness Club?

Assignment #4: Expert Interview Reflection

We interviewed Christopher Brantley, President and Founder of the Saber Fitness Club at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. We interviewed Christopher September 10th, which lasted about forty minutes. I was a little worried that we might have to squeeze answers out of him, but Christopher took out questions and ran with them easily. He mentioned his experience within theater during the interview, which I think made him naturally comfortable being the center of attention. He was open and clearly passionate about the Saber Fitness Club, the organization he founded at UNCW, and we all learned a lot about it that day. Christopher explained how the organization is a mixture of his love of Star Wars, hence the use of light sabers, and martial arts. He explained that, while he wants the club to be fun, he also takes the choreography with the sabers very seriously and others in the club should, too. He explained that respect and comradery within the group is very important to him...

Blog #8: Master Shot Sound Experience

I was in charge of sound for our Master Shot project. Our director, Brandon preferred to use his own equipment, so we used his Tascam 5D Mark II and two of his shotgun microphones. While Brandon was very helpful in explaining how to use the equipment, I do worry about missing the experience of using the   H4N. However, I expect we will all have access to different equipment next semester, so I will probably have to learn new equipment all over again next semester, anyway. As far as actually recording the sound, it was a pretty straightforward, easy job. The most difficult part of it was keeping the boom microphones out of the shot, supporting them on my shoulders for so long, and using them in a relatively small space in between the two actors. I prefer the editing experience over all of the positions that I have occupied so far in our projects.

Blog Assignment #13

Most of all, throughout this semester in FST 201, I have learned that film making is much more of a group effort than I originally thought. This fact is great when all team members are on top of their parts of the filmmaking project. However, this fact can be a stressful one when certain group members fail or fall short of their tasks. Overall, most of my group members made the projects enjoyable experiences and I feel we created interesting things together. I think that the projects that we participated in this semester taught me to trust myself and my instincts more than I did before. I learned that most ideas are worth exploring even if they don't eventually lead to anything in the final cut because they are exercise in creativity. I also learned that following your passions is not always the easiest path to follow along with everything else life throws are you, but it is worth it in the end. Overall, after all the stressing and lack of rest and sleep, I feel very accomplished...
