Hot
Seat Interview
Today in
class we dedicated the majority of our time filming our hot seat interview
with the Robotica
CEO, Martin. We worked together to form a script which the interviewer
and interviewee would follow.
After
creating the script, we began setting up the cameras in the room where the
interview would take place. We set up 2 cameras which would allow us to use the
film technique, shot
reverse shot. This would allow us to create a more realistic and
effective looking interview.
In addition,
I came up with the idea of using clip on microphones for
the interview, this would make it sound much more professional and less grainy
audio which can really spoil the effect. As a result of this, I took up the
time to research for 2 decent quality clip on microphones. I searched through Amazon before finding the ideal product
(shown below).
Filming
When filming we used 2 cannon 750D cameras as well as our new clip on
microhones which we plugged into our phones and recorded using the voice
memo app. We then sent the recordings to my laptop where I then
uploaded it imovie and
replaced it with the original grainy audio.
We recorded in 2 areas, the first being the interview
room and the second being a door
which Max would walk through at the intro to
give it more effect.
Editing
Once we finished filming, I edited the clips and audio
using imovie on my mac.
I decided to create a fairly dramatic intro to
build up tension and suspense. To do this,
I went on YouTube to look for a royalty free track with a heartbeat sound in
it. Once I found the perfect track I downloaded it using a YouTube
MP3 converter.
After finding the audio I needed, I first made it a
priority to replace the camera audio with the much clearer clip microphone
audio. After this was done I then started to edit the footage. I used different
crops and black
fades in time with
the heart beats to create a sense of anticipation. Next, I continued to edit
the shot reverse shot technique between Max and I in the interview once the questions
were asked and answered.
At the end of the video I ended it with a slow-motion clip of followed on by a fade to
black which I thought created a nice exit.
