Summer Production Stills

This is a still of us editing the original clip we recorded. we have the original on the left and the finished on the right.

This is a still of a cutaway we used. It is a boy walking whilst talking on the telephone, showing how versitle you can be whilst on the phone.

Here is the timeline of our interview, it allowed us to move images and clips around.

Production Photo's

Here Jess is the interviewer, so she asked all the questions, she is sitting out of shot of the camera. Sarah was in charge of the camera so she recorded everything that was said

Matthew is the interwiewee, the camera is pointed at him but he is looking at Jess, the interviewer.

Here i am fixing the lighting so it is on Matthew and you can clearly see his face whilst he is being filmed.

Summer production planning

we had to plan, film and edit an interview on mobile phones. We came up with some suggestions of what the interview would consist of.

Interviewee: Matthew

Cut away shots:
Somebody walking whilst on the phone
Two people talking whilst on their phones
somebody texting

Location:
Bluescreen (to put an image behind the interviewee)

AS documentary

Here are the clips we analysed:

Codes & Conventions:
1) Each answer expands on previous one, either developing or adding points to the current topic.
2) Interviews are edited together to create a coherent narrative.
3) Speakers look at the interviewer, not the camera.
4) Questions are usually edited out of the final production.
5) Graphics containing the name and title of the interviewee (e.g. John Doe, Murder Expert) are used, placed in the bottom corners or across the bottom of the screen.
6) Cut-away images illustrate the spoken points, such as images of a hotel when it is brought up.
7) Mise en Scene of the background is relevent to the subject.
8) Usually only one interviewee is on screen at a time.
9) Rule of thirds is employed, with the eyes on level with one of the upper focal points.
