The assignment this time was to find and interview someone talented at Roger Williams University. My team decided to interview senior public relations major Jason Rodman about his guitar playing skills.
When we arrived at Jason's house to film the interview, we noticed that the sun was in a perfect position to film on the deck behind the house so we decided to film outside instead of inside. This was one of the best calls we could have made because the lighting was perfect and we were able to capture all of the tones in Jason's face. The sound also came out very well as a result of us filming outside.
We started the filming process by filming Jason playing his guitar for about five minutes. This video became the backbone of the final product, which I cut down to just under three minutes in the editing process. After we filmed Jason playing we interviewed him using the interview method that Prof. Michael Scully taught us and it worked very well.
We experimented with several different camera angles during the interview. In fact we changed the angle before every question in order make the video more interesting. I think this worked very well, as I was able to make the video extremely interesting in the editing process.
The only mistake we made during this video was the one shot where I accidentally caught my team's reflection in the sliding class door behind Jason. However, I was able to cleverly edit out by using b-roll of Jason playing with a voice over instead of using the actual video of him talking. While it was spurred by a mistake, I think this technique added a lot of depth to the video.
I feel that this is the best video my team has produced so far. So enjoy.
