In week 5 workshop, our exercise required us to put together a brief interview segment in groups of three based on this particular theme: “a survival guide to your first six weeks of University”.

 

 

Bradley, Riah and I came up with the idea of each having a different section to briefly discuss. They went as followed:

Brad = work –>  This included navigating RMIT website and getting along with teachers

Riah = lifestyle –>  This included coffee systems, facebook

Isobel = work –>  This included blog and assignment advice

What makes this task to interesting is that even though we all had the same idea (being a group) and the same footage, each person is going to come up with different ways of putting it together.

The editing in my video is very fast paced. I broke up each person’s interview into even little sections and different things they talk about within their topic. Each section includes cut away shots, demonstrating what has been said in that specific section. For example, when Riah says “make sure you have coins for coffee”, I use the shot of her holding coins in her hand and her lining up to get a coffee.

We each had a turn at being in charge of the camera – specifically, I filmed some of Riah’s cut away shots and some of Brad’s. We all had turns at asking the question as well, I asked Riah, Riah asked Brad and Brad asked me. We shared all the rolls around.
