Living room
Good location. Set interviewee on love seat, against pinkish wall (below, far right). Will need to light this shot.
Lamp light only. One large window with white blind. At least 3 outlets in living room, on different walls. Good sound absorption; carpet, soft furniture. NOTE: Turn off AC and fan. Put cover over parrot!! (It works... yes, I tried it.)

Back porch & yard
Sunny yard, covered back porch. Could use for second interview. Seat interviewee in chair on porch, facing house if it's a sunny day. One double outlet left of door. Ambient sound: Light wind off & on (USE WINDSCREEN). Distant ambient street noise -- ok. Occasional distant neighbor noise, dogs, geese (OK). Make sure dryer is turned off to avoid venting noise.
Debby -- the wicker chair is really quite interesting in its texture. Would you like some better photos of it (without seat cushion or distracting background elements)? (PS -- on the documentary level, isn't the photo at far left cool?) |
