Want to know how I craft the CRFs? Well to begin with, I watch and review the footage. Do this to get a grasp of who’s talking at what points. This helps when deciding which camera view would optimize the speaking point. There is usually a choice between the host, guest, or a two shot. Between audio and video, I usually work with the latter first. I like seeing the visual product. Cutting up the video and switching between camera views is the fairly easy and more creative part of the process, in my opinion. I’ve had some challenges with fixing levels on the different tracks of audio, though. I’m only used to working with at most two tracks of audio, but CRFs usually have six or seven total tracks of audio. I was relieved to hear that most of the tracks wouldn’t be of any use. So then all I had to do was weed out those and figure out which two mics the two people were using. If there were pops in the audio, it was up to me to blade the track and find a better track to use in replacement of the disabled one. In the past two days I’ve learned some new tips and shortcuts that have proved very handy in completing these mini projects.
Once I figure out what the week’s going to happen upon, then I can figure out what I will be able to do this weekend.
Once the CRFs are complete and approved, they can potentially be posted on the BET website.
Some Excess From Last Week
Me and V were sent some photos from the National Park Trust event from last week. We were taking photos on the seventh floor of the Newseum, where it overlooks the Capitol Building, when a photog came by. Look at us!
