Being the interviewer and editing: 

 

It was difficult to come up with good questions to ask him, and try to

phrase them in a way that he would remember to answer with the

question stem. Editing a interview is very different then editing

something like a plushie. I had to turn one 4 minute video into like 20

littles videos, and make sure I was only using Jackson talking. Also

learning how to put B roll in took some practice.

 

             

 

 

 

              Being interviewed:

​

Watching Cesley’s video of me I realized that when I was answering her

questions, I sounded very monotone. It was really hard at first to

remember to answer the question with the question stem, and I forgot

to a few  times. It was also hard to try to sit still and not look around all

over the place. The light right on my face also took some getting used

to.

 

 

 

               

 

             Filming:

​

When I was filming my first interview, I watched someone else set up

the camera, tripod, light, and microphone because I had never seen it

been done before. Once it was all set up and turned on, I played

around with the brightness and color of the light, and the angle it was

at to make Celsey look best on the camera. I also kept in mind the rule

of thirds when framing her and telling her which way to look.

 

             

 

 

             Being the interviewer and editing(part 2):

 

For my second interview, I interviewed Oscar…3 times. The first time it went really well, until we went to stop recording and we noticed that the camera screen read ‘SD card full’, even though the only thing on it was the first 30 seconds of the interview. So we asked for help and got a new SD card, and filmed it again. This time, we had forgotten that someone shut the microphone off while we were putting the new card in, so our second interview had no sound. Finally on the third try we got it and Oscar had his answers all ready. I was hoping to try to use videos of him snowboarding as B roll but he didn’t have any he could send me during class. It took me a lot less time to edit it this time because I had just done it last week. It’s all done except for adding the rest of the B roll.

 

             

 

             Being interviewed(part 2):

 

My second time being interviewed I think went much better. Mary

asked me more personal questions that I was excited to talk about, like

traveling. I also was keeping in mind that I didn’t want to sound like I

did in my previous interview.

 

             Filming(part 2):

 

When I was filming, I think I did a much better job getting the lighting to look really good. I knew to double check that the camera was recording and the microphone was on. Again, I kept the rule of birds in mind. There was an air vent in the room we used that was really loud so I had to stand on the table and cover it with a bag so it wouldn’t make so much noise. Every once and awhile, I glanced down at the camera to make sure it didn’t say ‘SD card full’ again.
