Editing- The interviews

Edit Decision List

Logging Sheet

We have been keeping a log of the different footage that we had filmed during each interview.

 



 

Filming: Shop fronts

We went to Liverpool and filmed different but revelent shop fronts in the town centre and these are some of the shops that we filmed:

• Kurt Geiger
• Schuh
• Missie
• Footasylum
• Clarks
• Office

Filming: Stop motion

In this lesson, we attempted some more stop motion footage that we may use for our title sequence. This involved a pair of heels and a pair of Vans. This was good to practice with because we could see the different framing and how much we actually had to move the shoe in order for it to look like it was moving by itself.

Filming: Voxpops and the second Shoe Market interview

We filmed four voxpops in Liscard, and asked them the question 'what is your favorite shoe?'

We then had to go back to the Shoe Market to refilm the parts that werent good enough the first time, but the woman was not avaliable again so we just ended up filming the whole thing again, but this was good because we could use the first filming as a practise run.

Filming: Dr Martens interview

We went out and interviewed Grace from the Liverpool Dr Martens shop, we asked her questions about the styles of shoes that they sell.

Filming: Podiatrist, Shoemarket & Younger Person Interview

In this lesson, we went out of school and filmed Claire, the Podiatrist. Brenda from the Shoemarket employee and Hannah Thomson who was our younger person. We made the questions proir to the interviews, so we could make amendments if the questions werent relevent.

We framed each of these on the right hand side but still in the rule of thirds, as this is the codes and conventions of an interview and made sure the eyeline and lighting was perfect.

Filming: With a shoe designer (Natalie Warren)

In todays lesson, we went and filmed an interview with Natalie Warren-a shoe designer. Whilst here we took cutaways so we could include them in our documentary. We also took pictures so we could show that it was us filming, and showed what the camera looked like that we had set up.

 

Natalie was set up in the right frame and the lighting was good and she spoke clearly and detailed and gave us all the information that we needed to build up the documentary.

Filming: Interview with older person (Joan Turley)

In todays lesson, we went out and filmed an older person and asked them a series of questions that we had prepared prior to the interview. We took pictures of what we were doing aswell so we could jusitfy it was us filming.

When looking back at this interview, I think that we did a good job, we learnt from the test interview and made sure that the lighting was good and that the interviewee was eyeline with the interviewer. Joan was framed well in the rule of thirds and was positioned in the correct place.

Filming: Test Title Sequence

In todays lesson, we experimented and filmed our title sequence. This will prepare us for when we make our actual title sequence and we will use the ideas that we have used in the testing, in the real thing.

When filming this, it was very time consuming. We had to push each shoe very slightly and shot it, and carry on doing this to each shoe, so when we looked back on the film, it looked like the shoes were walking by themselves. We filmed this a number of times, in different places to see what would suit what mise en scene we were trying to create, this helped us understand and develop what we were aimed to achieve

For the final attempt we did in this lesson, we put the shoes on the table and made the shoes walk in and out of shot. Shooting this has really helped us to understand and develop our skills in creating a good stop-motion video, something we are considering a lot for our title sequence.

Filming: Test Interview

We did a test interview to familiarise ourselves with the equipment that we will be using. This was very beneficial because we could also practise with the framing of the interviewee and know what were doing for the other interviews.

As we can see, the way we had postitioned Don in the framing, we did this well. But the downside of this interview was the interviewer wasnt at eye level with the interviewee, which caused Don to look up. We can learn from this and in our actual interviews we could amend this and make sure that we are eye level with the interviewee. Another thing that let us down in this interview was the lighting, although we did shut the blinds and the curtains, this did not help because we could see on the wall behind the change in the light from outside, we would have to change this and make sure that this did not happen when we were properly filming.

Planning.

We made story boards so we could have a step by step plan of what we were doing.

I drawn single frames of each of the interviews that I am going to conduct.
