On Saturday I managed to capture an interview with Dave lasting around forty seconds. Everything he said was intelligent, meaningful and worthy of inclusion to my film. Dave discussed some of his general views on fulfillment in a fairly personal way. It was exactly the kind of footage I am looking for. Even in capturing a short interview I had to really consider the lighting. I positioned the camera and conducted the interview so as the sunlight was hitting Dave’s face from the side. Obviously if the sunlight is coming from behind the camera and directly hitting the subject they will have difficulty looking at the camera because of the glare factor. I am feeling much more motivated now I have actually captured some footage and the project is properly underway. I should have started filming my project months ago so it important to keep up the momentum and capture a substantial amount of footage next weekend.

Good to hear you have made a start.
The other thing to consider is getting some short clips into this journal so that the reader can see what you are talking about and actually watch the production develop.
You can also use stills from your shooting to help develop your storyboard as a planning tool - using a package like Celtx (link on the class moodle).
