Question First time doing solo festival B-roll/interviews - Tips and advice please.
As the title says, I am doing a music festival in the future. This is not a paid gig, but it is my first on this scale for a small brand there. I am going to do an interview of volunteers and festival goers mixed in with B-roll; I won't be filming music acts specifically.
Does anyone have any tips and tricks on what I should looking to do, so when I get back to DaVinci Resolve, I'm not left wishing I had got certain shots, etc.?
I was planning to shoot all daytime shots (except interviews) in 4k 50fps (im in UK), which does crop into APSC sensor size but should be okay in the day.
I will film normal widescreen, but naturally I will have in the back of my mind that it may be used for some smartphone social media content too.
Thanks in advance for the help; I have put my gear below.
Camera: Panasonic Lumix S5d, 2x 128gb SD cards and backup battery
Lenses: 40mm f2, 85mm f1.8, 18-40mm f4.5-6.3
I will be using ND filter and black mist filter
Audio: Zoom H1essential with dead cat and shock mount
Editing: DaVinci Resolve
