Interviewing Exercise

Workshop – Week 5

Image source: unknown

Week 5’s workshop is a bit of a mystery to me as I was unable to be there, however the theme of interviewing still seems to be running strong as I believe we conducted an interview exercise involving the Sony MC50 cameras out and about in RMIT’s campus.

The exercise required filming student interviews with a few different shots, including:

  • An establishing/wide shot
  • An interviewee in action shot
  • Medium and Medium Close-Up shots
  • Cutaways
  • Reverse/reaction shots of the interviewer

This sort of practice work is obviously very handy to have honing when it comes to actually carrying out our PB3s as it gives us a valuable idea of what an interview should look and feel like in the end.

As I was unable to participate in the exercise myself, I watched some of the other students’ work from the course and I appreciate all of these:
