My second experience doing videotaping for Mrs. Peterson was a lot harder than the first. On Wednesday night I had to videotape a presentation from the seniors to the parents of sophomores about the IB and about different courses that the kids can take. This was a lot harder than the first time i did videotaping for Mrs. Peterson because i had to rush back to the school after baseball practice that got out at 6:40 and be at the school at 7 o'clock. When i got to the school I had to get the camera's and tripods out of Mr. Steedman's office and set them up in two rooms. I set up one camera in room 204 and then gave Zach Crockford, who I worked with to videotape the two presentations, the camera and tripod for the music room and he set that up. The camera I used this time was different from the first time and i also had a tripod that i did not have the first time i did videotaping. Having a tripod helped me a lot and allowed me to capture the seniors very easily and switch from person to person very smoothly. The only new challenge that I faced was that the zoom on the new camera was very slow zooming in and out and it took a while to pan from a person's face back to the view of everyone. I also learned how to operate the camera more smoothly and learned a few techniquies that helped me to switch quickly but smoothly from person to person.
