For anyone who has experience with videotaping short language
learning vignettes with non-professional actors, we're trying to get
a rough idea of how long we should plan for rehearsal and shooting
(but not script writing or video editing).
This would be with a prosumer camcorder, either natural lighting or
two or three simple lights, probably one mic, camera on a tripod with
no movement (no pan, tilt, zoom). Two actors interacting using a
script.
In other words, to end up with, say, twenty half-minute videos (ten
minutes of runtime), how long might that take to:
- Have the non-professional talent rehearse their lines (on their own
time).
- Set up the audio/video gear, record the scenes (it is expected that
multiple takes will be required to get a 'good' one), and put the
gear away.
Or if you have a guesstimate for the ratio of production time to
actual run time (e.g., ten to one, etc.), that would work as well.
The acting/delivery quality will obviously not be professional, and
we're not looking for perfect, but reasonably good 'takes'.
