MDA1300 - Sound Brief

These videos are the finished interviews. The first, being with the boom mic (filmed by Mayang and Fikre), the second (filmed by Sofiane and I) with the lapel mic.

While there are some good points (the sound is, in certain places audible and well recorded, and I had editing in 'noddy' shots to show the interviewer and their responses to what was being said, which makes the video more interesting as it breaks up the longer shots), there were alot of errors.

Firstly, in both shots there is no introduction or idea of wha tthe interview is about initially, so the audiences wouldn't have been drawn in.
The backgrounds in each shot are uninteresting and the topic of interviews is generic and boring.

The reason we did not think of these as issues, in my opinon, is because we didn't plan efficiently enough, as we didn't assign roles until the day of shooting, so we had taken equipment out with only a vague idea of what we were supposed to be doing to fulfil the brief. The major way this affected us, in my opinion, is because when we set out to film we had no idea of a location in mind, so spent a LOT of time finding an efficient location, and as we hadn't planned it out beforehand, we didn't think about ways in which we could have made it more interesting, resulting in wasting too much time and the same bland, white background for both shots

The lack of planning also meant that the topics for interviews were thought of on the spot and under pressure, affecting the final video in the fact that it isn't really that appealing to audiences.
