The other problem with the Canon camera was that the best resolution it had was 720HD. This is significantly smaller than the 1080HD the iPhone had.
The
other issue with these cameras (that I only learned about later) is
that I don't really have access to any real control over the light in
the camera, such as f-Stop control. I don't know anything about that,
so I suppose it was just as well that I let the camera's own
automatic controls take over. However, now that the project is
completed, I am seriously considering buying a higher quality camera
that might allow me to have access to more controls. For this
project, though, the only options I had were to alter it in
post-production.
The
other thing that I learned during this first shooting session was to
tell Ramon to repeat the questions, since I wanted to edit-out any
trace of me from the final film. This meant that I would expect him
to either literally repeat the question I ask ("Why did I move
to New York?"), or he would do like my elementary school teacher
said, and answer in complete sentences ("I moved to New York
because..."). But he didn't always answer like this during the
first interview, so I knew that I would have to be kind of crafty
with editing his answers together.
