Yesterday we filmed our first narrative scene for Circles. When we arrived on set to set up, there was the surprising presence of blaring rap music from the amphitheater. This was a total surprise and had us all scared as a crew. We had no idea this would be happening! Thankfully, the event with the loud music ended at 3, which was right in time for us to start filming.
My first official day as a sound-mixer on set went really well in my opinion. Techniques that I've learned within the past month are already starting to make a difference. Instead of holding the boom myself, I was able to place it on a C-Stand and get it extremely close to the actors. Due to an impromptu alumni party close to our location, the background noise made us have to use a lavalier mic unexpectedly. Thankfully, I was able to place it under her jacket and hide the wire successfully for good, clean audio!
I was also able to edit a rough cut of the scene, which we will show in class Monday.
Overall, it was a great first day of shooting! Now time to get started with the documentary elements.
