On Tuesday this week, we were working on doing interviews, and also using some new cameras (forgive me i’ve forgotten the name of them…). In our group we didn’t really have a specific topic in mind for what our interview would be, but before each one was undertaken, we’d sort of just have a chat. What I mean, is that we’d just have a super general conversation between us, and if something interesting popped up, we decided to base the interview around that topic/story. It probably wasn’t the most professional way to go about things, but it worked for the time limit that we all had.

What I realised when I started to put the video together was that I didn’t get Annie to say the question within her answer. This wouldn’t have mattered had I planned on including my voice in the interview, but that wasn’t the way we had set it up or intended to do it. Next time I either need to make sure the interviewee reiterates the question, or I involve myself. Since this was just an in class task, I didn’t bother to redo the interview, and just stuck with putting the questions screen before each answer. Definitely the most professional setup, but there wasn’t too much else I could do.

Friday we were out at the museum again, getting all the final stuff we needed for our videos. I won’t talk about it too much here, because I go into much more detail in my reflection post for the assignment. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. Kerrie was nice enough to drive me out to the Migrant Hostel so I could get some extra footage of what it looks like now. Hopefully it will make my video look a little more dynamic, but we’ll have to see when it all comes together.
