"Hey jeff, its josiah, can i have some pointers for tomorrow? Im filming my first concert, im excited! I got a camera bit i need an external mic cause the mic on the camera doesn't work..."
Three minutes later...
"Hey! Notes in general: keep the camera rolling the whole time, you can always cut stuff out afterwords. Bring more recording tapes or sd cards than you think you need; and hunt for some different shots (I.e. zoomed in, medium shot etc) but keep them consistent for each segment. As far as the external mic goes, do you know if you will be using the actual audio from the concert at all?"
"I want to have the option to use the audio, but for this concert i guess its alright if I don't."..."Just got an extra sd card, and im picking up the camera tomorrow morning. Then imma be ready to film. Whoohoo"
"Awesome man! Best of luck with tomorrow. Let me know how it goes."
"Yah Definitly."
After this conversation I called Janice to touch base. She emailed me media release forms for the chorus members to fill out, she also sent me a song list of the concert so I can anticipate how to film. I printed out the release forms and now I am ready for the concert at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Wish me luck!
