While shooting for the Writing Center, I participated in multiple ways. The first day I did the set-up and did the shoot for the first couple of speakers on camera 1, however it ended up that we didn't use camera 1 for anymore footage. I also helped set up the lighting on day 1. For day 2 of shooting I helped do all the set-up for camera 2 as well as shooting the first speaker. After the switch I moved into the booth where I just helped as a creative eye and helped make any adjustments.
The most important thing I learned throughout the Writing Center shoot was that changes can be made effectively and quickly. On day 1 our footage was decent but overall we were not happy with it. So, going into day 2 I liked that we made the decision to take advantage of our talent and have them help us as well as changing the angles. I also liked learning that you can take advantage of "practicing". On day 2 I liked that we told them to read a couple of lines for practice so there wasn't any pressure, but then we just started filming. I felt the talent looked much more comfortable and calm.
Overall, I thought the shoot went great, but with better results coming out of day 2.
