Lab #3: Video Quality

The sunlight off to the side of the head of the interviewee turns out to be the worst shot. The shadows that are produced on half of the face prove too distracting. The face of the interviewee in long shot is divided in two colors, and as we move closer in shots, the shadows are more detailed.

The angles in which the sun was today worked well for when we interviewed people standing between the sun and the camera. It didn't cause a blur, but this is probably do to the sun's high position.

Having the interviewees stand in front of the sun doesn't work out well for them, but in our case we had the interviewees look to the side where the interviewer was, and this provided a clear shot with a lot of light.

I applied the rule of two thirds in most of the interviews and it does make it easier for the viewer to focus on interviewee, especially when there was a lot of pedestrian traffic.
