The Office:

We spoke about interview styles and techniques in class and as we studied the stylistic techniques of certain interviewers and interviewees my idea of the face to camera interviews I want to feature in my film became solidified. The Office is the perfect example of the tone and effect I want to feature in my film. The way the shots jump from jerky, observational style recording of the happenings in the office to the people then talking about what they were thinking or what happened is the style I am aiming for.

My film will hopefully take on this effect as this is what I believe will correctly portray the comedic affect I am going for. I think I will take a lot of ideas from The Office, especially the scenes above, when I’m in the editing process. I hope to record all of the things scripted and any other non-verbal parts, such as facial expressions and movements, that can be cut and placed into certain parts of the film to create certain moods and tell different emotions of the characters.
