Today Andy and I attended an interviews workshop at the Maidstone studios.
I was particularly interested in attending this workshop because I will be the one interviewing contributors for our documentary film piece on the NoToMob. Although I have created documentary film pieces in the past, and I have experience appearing in front of the camera in an acting capacity, I do not have much experience at all when it comes to setting up an interview segment, or actually interviewing the contributor.
I learnt a lot from today, including such things as how to cut the scene up in certain ways so that it can be easily edited together and still work, and I also learnt how to keep the flow of an interview going so that I can avoid the interviewee going off on a tangent and talking about an irrelevant subject.
Todays workshop has given myself and Andy a lot to think about in terms of how we will approach our contributors, namely the NoToMob, which may or may not feature an interview which takes place outside on the streets of Medway. Since their will be a lot happening in the background if we choose to film outdoors, it will be important that we shoot a lot of material we can cut to in the meantime, and be sure to shoot lots of "noddies" shots to avoid inconsistencies.
