11. Interview - Church p1

The first interview was scheduled in early March. The last day of editing the finished short was in early May. That means that the whole production for this project was almost exactly 2 months. I don't know if that is fast turnaround, or not, but it felt quick to me. (I suppose that if this were my full time job, I would have completed the project faster.)

Being a musician, and knowing a bit about Ramon's life already, I had at least some idea of what kinds of images I wanted to shoot for this film. Right away, it was clear that I wanted footage of him at his place of work, the church where he is the music director. I also thought that the setting of the church would make nice shots.

This was the first shooting that I have ever done, so one thing that I learned too late was lighting. I had two different cameras for this shot. One was an iPhone, and the other was a point-and-click Canon from many years ago (I didn't have access to the second iPhone, yet). They both welcomed light a bit differently from each other, so while one seemed like it was lit fine, the other looked quite a bit washed out.
