Photography principles

Doing the third podcast, I was trying to work more with the audio, i.e. extracting the audio. Also I used primarily photographs. It was a definitely interesting experience! After wathing the final video, I realized that the voice in different clips varies, in some it is high, in others it is low. It was my first experience with the voice over. Next time I must have the mic at the same distance and try to keep the same "volume" of the voice. Also, I noticed that the video' time is longer than the actual clip, I believe some clips were not deleted when I was compressing the video :((
For the final project I will try to integrate working with voice over and video.

Experience with the second podcast

It was for sure easier than the first podcast! This time I tried to play with the camera and see if I can improve shooting techniques by changing camera angles, and by shooting the moving object. Right now I just know some basic things about the shooting process. Watching other students' work really helps a lot. You can see how the things that could be done better, so that develops your own skills! I think, in general, this is a very useful learning experience.
