Being the Interviewer:
I interviewed Adam Sniatkowski for my first interview. I had fun and enjoyed asking him questions and getting to know more about him. The editing was also a fun aspect of it as well; it was fun to understand what is put into the making of an interview, and finding B roll to put in. It was interesting, and challenging
to come up with interesting questions to ask, but once I had found something he was interesting in, I asked more questions including that topic. However, it would have been nice to have had some questions set to ask because I realized that a lot of the video was time going by as I tried to think of questions to start off.
Being interviewed:
I enjoyed being interviewed. I thought I was not going to like it, but it was not bad; I knew all of the answers because the questions were about me. It gave me a chance to think about myself and what I enjoy. I loved getting to see the final piece, to be able to see
what was taken out. I also liked seeing the B-roll used within the video. The music in the background was a nice touch because it kept things interesting throughout the video. All-in-all, I did end up enjoying being the one in front of the camera for a change.
Being Behind the Camera:
Unfortunately, there was not enough people within our class to have three people in all groups, so we only had two. Therefor, for this interview session, I was not behind the camera, just the one being interviewed, and the interviewer. I am sure there will be times in the future that I will be behind the camera, and I can't wait to experience it.
Being the Interviewer #2:
I interviewed Renae Hale. She is a junior at BBA, and one of my close friends. It was exciting and fun interviewing her. I did not get to put in all of the B-roll, so the interview is not completely finished. I would also have liked to learn how to make the transitions from one clip to another more smooth and pleasing
to the eye. I would have also liked to find some calm, fun music to put in the background so there is more than just her talking with cars in the background. I loved getting to put this interview together, and I loved adding B-roll to the film to make it more interesting to watch (although not completely done).
Being Interviewed #2:
I have not yet received the video of me being interviewed. But, I enjoyed being interviewed once again; there were a lot of the same questions asked, but it was okay because it was only our second interview and it was not supposed to be about anything specific.
Being Behind the Camera #2:
I have not yet received the interview when I was behind the camera. I was behind the camera filming when Renae was interviewing Emmett. It was fun because, I was the one that set the camera up and got the shot how it was supposed to be. I made sure that Emmett was looking into open space, and that his face fell upon the lines (rule of thirds). I also made sure to help Renae come up with more questions to ask Emmett when she was stuck and had asked all she could think of. I did not do much more behind the camera other than that, and making sure that it was filming. Half way through the interview, I realized that the battery was low, so we made sure to quickly switch the battery with a newly charged one once that interview was done and before moving onto the other.
