shut up and shoot

2. We will use these sound rules whilst filming in order to ensure
that the quality and sound levels are properly set.
Furthermore, we have decided to keep audio running on
cameras in case of any issues, which would avoid a possibility
of losing sound. This is, however, only a back up and we will
follow these rules to ensure that it stays as a back up.

3. When in the editing process we will use our ‘b-roll’ footage in
order to cutaway from the interview to related shots. For
example, we wish to bring some of Professor Gauntlett’s books
which we will cut away to when he gets involved with his theory.

4. When interviewing, we will strive to engage with our
interviewee’s, perhaps off camera and respond and ask further
questions in order to stimulate the discussion. We will furthermore
respond positively with both verbal and non-verbal feedback – non
verbal feedback is a particuarly important skill as it allows us to
communicate without risking talking over the interviewee.

5. Setting up lighting is a key element, as this will make our production
look professional. Furthermore it will allow the cameras to pick up
facial expressions more easily. In order to create the perfect lighting,
we will place one light at an acute angle to the background, whilst
soft boxing another light further away from the subject of the
interview.
