This is my first attempt at interviewing someone on while videoing them. We used the Flip HD camera's and I found it relatively easy to use. There was a small on\off button which was clear, and below the screen was a big red button: start/stop recording. Surrounding this was zoom in and out buttons, which made it very simple to get the shot we wanted. We set the camera up on the tripod and it only took me one take to get this interview, which I was very happy with.
I have edited my video very basically. I changed all parts to black and white, as it gave a very nice effect and generally looked good, and then I added in a few transitions at the beginning, end and between the two clips. I added the last clip to add a bit of humor to the video. I particularly like how the middle transition follows Kat down.
I planned what questions I would ask before the interview, and these were:
- What is your name?
-How old are you?
-Where did you grow up?
-Have you ever lived somewhere else?
-Do you have any family traditions?
-Do you have a job, what do you want to do?
-What is your favourite childhood memory?
-Where are your parents from?
-Are you religious?
We chose this background because it looks natural and pretty, without being overly distracting. It has no real items in the background that draw in attention.
