Ramiro Alvarez was chosen by our group to participate in a trial run of an oral history recording. We interviewed Ramiro about his first encounters with racism and his early life. Along this process, as group we learned that the process of recording the interview is a sensitive one. Subtle changes in light, white balance, and angles really can improve the feeling of an interview. Another point of learning we encountered had to do with our audio: editing out background noise and enhancing voices digitally isn't as good as making sure that not even a single phone vibrates, any papers are shuffled in the background, or any walking really. The camera work itself was smooth for our group and good thing it was. Right before we started editing...we realized the record button wasn't on during our best take. Left with nothing but bloopers, the team quickly sprang into action and redid the whole thing.
