Filming our first news story video was definitely interesting. First of all, we had to pick a subject who would hopefully be comfortable and flexible with a camera. Alyssa and I got really lucky with our interviewees because they were all bubbly girls who were more than happy to be in front of the camera. Picking what shots we needed and what shots would definitely help was difficult, so we ended up shooting a total of 56 bits so that we had a variety of angles to choose from.
We ran into a few problems when the store didn't have any customers for a little while, or some shoppers didn't want to be involved. We were patient though and eventually we came across people who were willing to help us out. Another issue we ran into was the lighting outside--it was a very sunny day so any outdoor shots were a bit rough at times.
As far as holes in our story, I would definitely say that had we interviewed more people the story could've been better. For example, there are two other new, local clothing boutiques who are also involved in the fashion show, and they definitely could've added to the whole segment.
