This was a really interesting and fun unit. After interviewing a LHWHS student and editing the video with adding b-roll to it, it turned out as a true interview. I always imagined and wanted myself to do a real interview, and now with the help of my Broadcast Tech class, I have now accomplished that. After my partner and I completed the interview, we took some different angle shots for b-roll. Now I've incorporated that into my final project. I moved the shots from my phone over to my computer and added that to my interview in Final Cut Pro. Then, I selected the best shots that matched what the student we were interviewing said and placed that into the video where best made sense. After a certain amount of time of that clip being shown, I switched it back to the student and kept doing that for a total of six different b-rolls in the video. Now, my project is complete and I've officially done my first true interview.
Interviewing was a really fun and good experience. Just pulling someone aside and asking them questions about something going on in their lives, is uniquely fascinating. In this case, my partner (Charlie) and I interviewed Joel about his experience with woodworking. Whether it being with the tools he uses to create his project, or his teacher, Mr. Schmidt, there is always something very interesting going on in the woodshop. I learned about how to handle the camera while interviewing, with that being making sure the audio is good, making sure the camera is focused on the person being interviewed, and how close we should be in proximity to the person we're interviewing. The hardest part was the thing that you would think would be the easiest. Asking the questions. You have to just go with the flow and not always stick to the script to make sure the audience stays engaged with the story. All that and more really made my understand the importance of how to make a good interview.
