My group's project changed from recording the football game, to recording dance team practice and performance, to ultimately doing a campus tour.
Luckily, the failures served as a learning experience.
Firstly, confirming schedules; the football team didn't have a game the two weeks we had to develop our project.
Secondly, confirm all the equipment is up to par. In our first shoot of dance team practice, the wifi did not work on two of the cameras. This set off a domino effect in which we had to manually fix the cameras, but only made bigger problems for ourselves by incidentally reconfiguring the settings.
In the third attempt, the cameras were too confused by stadium patterns for the stitching to work.
These are three crucial components to completing any video. And, well, now we know how important attention to detail truly is in this production process in particular.
In our successful final video, we did a tour of different campus sites. I had to be a tour guide, which was more frustrating than I anticipated it being-- especially when you have to consider the viewer may not necessarily be looking at what you're talking about.
But thankfully, through Premiere gymnastics, our video came out well.
