NE Hotel Awards

A few weeks ago, I worked on a series of interviews for the North East Hotel Awards. My job was to record the sound. The reason I haven't written a blog entry about this yet is because I have been having a bit of trouble with my internet recently. Now, I offered to do sound because I wasn't particularly interested in doing camerawork. I also thought that, due to the shoot entirely consisting of interviews, the sound would be recorded using a clip on microphone rather than a boom mic. However, I did end up having to use a boom part of the time, which is unfortunate since I've always found them awkward to hold. Still, I managed to capture the sound rather well and all of the interviewees can be heard. The event was organised by the college, as part of the Work Based Learning course. We, the level 5 students, were split up into several groups. Each group was sent to an area of the fitness academy to conduct their series of interviews. There were some complaints about organisation, but my group never had any such problems. Everything went well as far as I know The interviews were to be edited and used as part of the North East Hotel Awards ceremony to introduce each nominee. I'm we will have anything to do with the editing process, nor when the award ceremony will take place. Overall, I found this to be a good experience. It was a good way for us to get an idea of it is like to work for outside clients.
