Beginning to film

As I begin to film my videos, I have spent a lot of time thinking about my filming set. Most of the set came together over winter break. The desk and chair on which I sit are items we already had in the house. It took some work to move the table from its usual place to its new spot on the wall. The location is not ideal, as it is next to a large window, but I have borrowed a ring light from Ms Maxey that will hopefully help regulate my lighting. The next phase of setting up my set led me to downtown Annapolis with my mom in search of items to put on the desk. We visited several antique stores and ended up finding a set of small, old books to stand up on the desk. My dad found a bust of a Greek head at the Georgetown flea market, and I bought a garland of olive branches from Michaels. We also have several Greek pots from our travels, which decorate the other side of the desk. I still need to figure out which microphone I will use to film, the clip-on I have from my camera or the standup mic we already had, and wether I will use my phone or my camera to film. Either way, everything is in place to begin filming!
