Interviewing

-



Last night I had the chance to film my younger cousin for the documentary, this was lucky as I didn’t know if I could see her anytime soon. As I was filming her I though I would also ask my grandad if I could film him as i thought the setup was quite nice. One problem with the footage of my Grandad however was that his glasses were reflecting the light in which I had setup, although it’s annoying I think it will be okay. I chose to film my Grandad so that I had the choice of who I want to edit into my final production. Either my teacher who was in my first draft, or my grandad.

For this filming I have selected the most relevant best questions I thought. As one thing I need to do better from my first draft was to decide more on the narrative and so I tried to make the questions more about social media rather than more on phones.

After looking into the footage of my Grandad I decided to re film his interview. So I chose a different setting and used natural lighting, I think his answers are also better in this interview as he was more prepared in what he was going to say. 

I chose to film my grandad as he is more accessible and so if I want to re film I can easily do so, and I know he is free whenever I need him so this would just make it easier for me.

We spend a lifetime average of 5 years and 3 months on social media.  Instagram has 1 billion users. The average daily time spent on social media is 142 minutes.  91% of brands use 2 or more social media channels. Social media users grew by 202 million between April 2018 and April 2019, that works out that there is a new social media user every 6.4 seconds.  When asked, 81% of teenagers said that they felt social media had a positive impact on their lives.  Snapchat users view 8 billion videos on average.  Google processes 100 bill

Actors learning their lines

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkQAaZM8MoI I thought we'd see how the actors were with saying their lines before we actually shot the scenes. This way we could tell them if they need to be louder, angrier or maybe just for them to be more fluent with the lines they needed to say.
