Filming ‘ITS GOOD TO
        TALK’
     By Melissa Edwards
What did we do?
• Firstly we wrote a list of all the different types of
  cutaways which we could use.
• We filmed the cutaways first to get a variety of
  different shots.
• We used different camera angles and movements such
  as panning shots, zooming, close up, medium shot,
  long shot, high angles and extreme close etc.
• We then went into our common and asked around for
  an interviewee who owned a phone.
• We asked questions about her old phone, new phone,
  what her ringtone was, how important is her phone
  etc.
Good points

• Camera was still during the interview
• Cutaways were steady
• Used a variety of different shots
• Used props
• She was looking at the interviewer
• The interviews eyes were a 1/3 down the screen
• The lengths of our cutaways were different (short
  and long)
• Used a medium shot for the interview
Bad points
• The interviewee was in the middle of the
  screen, she needs to be on the left or right.
• Some of the cutaways weren’t steady
• We filmed next to a light source (window)
• The mise en scene didn’t communicate with
  mobile phones
• During the interview we needed to use a
  variety of shots not just a medium shot, as it
  becomes boring to the audience
• Use a tripod when filming cut aways
