Camera

My name is Hossley Partington and I am from Indianapolis, Indiana. I am a Senior at Ball State studying Telecommunications, with a minor in Digital Imaging. I will be graduating in December.

A little bit about myself: I tend to love being a behind the scenes kind of girl, working on helping produce and edit a piece. I have been all over Europe and love to travel anywhere I can. I have sang in some of the world famous Cathedrals. I love to do anything hands on and artsy, especially photography and painting. I was a competitive swimmer throughout my childhood and lifeguarded for two years. I am very much a people person and am happy to learn anything about anyone.

My role in the film is with the Camera crew. Operating the camera, working with the equipment, and helping out anywhere else on set that I can. I hope to learn more about the HD camera. I will use my creative eye to try and capture the look we want in order to have an amazing film. Being a lifeguard I will also look out for any injuries on set, just simply out of habit.

Up to this point we have been in the preproduction stage. Basically working out every detail we need to know before we can start filming. As far as cast, locations, props, equipment knowledge, and anything else pertinent to producing a film. I personally have worked hands on with setting up the stedicam, putting together all the camera equipment and camera, and actually working behind the camera to shoot practice footage. I am learning a lot that there is to know about a whole production process instead of just making a piece solo. I think that "Free Wall" will turn out to be a great piece of work that will enhance my credibility, help me to learn more with the hands on process, and show our Ball State talent of what we have acquired in knowledge as students. I am excited to work with all the crew in making a piece we will all remember.
