B-roll - Expert Interview
This past week Jonathan and I have been getting B-roll of our expert/amateur cosplay subject. We also tried to get our expert interview out of the way. Unfortunately after setting up the equipment, we ran out of time at the location we were shooting at, so we will have to reschedule our interview. Additionally, we were facing some lighting issues at the location. Ethan and Jonathan are making an overhead of the location so that when we go back to shoot our interview, we will have a better understanding of the room layout and lighting placement.
