Becon TV!

Hello! So after school on Friday, Alexia and I headed to Becon TV in Davie to pick up the equipment we were borrowing for the weekend. We met with James Guarasci who gave us a lesson on how to use all of the equipment. The camera he lent us was very user-friendly for beginners since neither of us has any real experience with cameras. He showed us how to control features on the camera such as the shutter speed, to experiment to get the best results for our opening scene. Mr. Guarasci also showed us how to use the lights and control the brightness and temperature to control the lighting. We didn't need any audio equipment since our main sound would be sound effects, music and a possible voiceover.

We were very happy to have reached out to Mr. Guarasci because he was very helpful and gave us really useful tips and advice on how to film our project and encouraged us to experiment with the different features on the camera. He even told us about an editing software called DaVinci Resolve which is apparently very easy to use and makes videos look very professional. We will definitely check it out and see what editing software we like best: WeVideo or DaVinci. I signed an agreement to bring back the equipment on Monday since our plan was to film on Saturday and finish on Sunday.
