I have finally recorded the interview with Tristan and now it is time to put in the finishing touches. As I watched the multiple takes, I have noticed that my questions constantly change and that I am reframing every take. Observing this trend as I edit the video, I realise how far I have come since day one of creating content. I ask different questions because I wanted the conversation to be more open and less closed. I reframed because I felt like the lighting was better in a certain area than the last. All of these creative decision that I have made illustrate the adaptive process from learning to applying.

As I watched the final take over and over again, I asked Tristan in person about some of his experiences to get further clarity.  I learnt a lot about his personality in this process and I was better at empathising with him because of this. Now that I have made things more personal in this interview, it was really easy to record some B-Roll shots of Tristan. My main objective for the rest of the week was to complete the backing shots of Tristan and incorporate them into my PB3 Assignment.

My friend Kim Long Nem, at Flying Art Films, had previously edited and shot a video on a musician named Gabe. I took a lot of inspiration on this style and felt like this style would work well with my interview with Tristan and adapt it to my own style.
