In class as a whole, we got set a task to make our own interview. However, we got given the topic and the questions as a head start which helped a lot. This made us focus more on the actual filming and editing. We worked in groups of 3 and by evaluating the final product, I feel it has many strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, afterwards the class gave us feedback and they stated that our strengths is the cutaways. They agreed that they were creative and relevant and they said the same for the mise-en-scene. What they also said is that the interviewee gave detailed explanations towards each question.
Furthermore, there are many things I would do differently when I produce another interview. This leads to the weaknesses of the mobile phone interview which in some ways isn't a bad thing because it makes people learn from mistakes. The aspects that need to be improved on are the sounding levels so the music bed does not affect the interviewee speaking. Also what needs to be improved is the framing of the camera which came across as quite messy in my final product.
I feel that the final product was at high standard because working as a group helped eachother by listening to others opinions. And our ideas came together which produced good work. Also I feel sometimes working as a group is beneficial if someone gets stuck using one of the tools, someone else in the group who has had experience will be able to help. Therefore we learn from eachother.
Overall, the first interview produced, I thought worked really well which has gave a confidence boost to do better in others in the future. It has also let me work with programmes I haven't used for a while such as Adobe Premier Pro, which helped me gain my knowledge again.
