Now that we had filmed our interviews, it was time to review what we had and come up with a structure for the doco.
Given that we filmed our interview on week 4, we were a week behind compared to the other groups who already did most of their filming the previous week. Rough cut is coming up at the end of week 5. We needed to get organised fast.
Part of the criticism we got from Rohan was that the interviews were poorly compositioned…
- Eyeline was angled too far away from the camera. Interviewee should have been positioned closer to camera to get a better angle
- Close up as opposed to a mid shot would have engaged viewer to interview more
- Shot wasn’t locked off resulting in more of a field reporter look
- Interviewing two people at once would cause post production issues and limit flexibility in editing. Example: Belinda would often interrupt Karl and disrupt sentences.
These mistakes have restricted how the story can be told, but we must know figure out how we can make it work.
The way we captured the process of making doughnuts with the ADK staff was well received.
