During the three days between August 10th and 12th, the FUKUSHIMA VOICE members started to practice for the shooting. On the first day, they attended a lecture to learn the basic operation technics of the shooting material, and interviewed each other for practice. On the second day, we practiced shooting group discussions. And on the third day, the group divided in 4 teams and each of them took appointments and went to shoot and interview outside of the school the bicycle shop keeper, the security guard, the udon restaurant owner, the candy shop owner, etc. With this practice we were able to experience the difficulty of the camera work, the recording of the sound, the way the conversation can spread, and other things related to the technique of shooting. We are hoping to put into practice during the actual shooting the various technical points that Mr Shimada, director, and Mr Osawa, producer, taught us. We are also working on the search for shooting subjects in order to be prepared for the shooting trip planned in September. (hashimoto)
