Shooting Interviews

This week we worked with some of the first year drama students filming mock interviews in preparation for filming our main group project "Weston rock". The idea behind these interviews was to give us time working with the cameras and also to give us the opportunity to experience directing actors. I feel this was a good 1st attempt but on reflection and after watching some other professionally shot interviews on the BBC I believe mine would definately have benefited from more medium close up shots to gauge reaction and show the emotion of the subjects more clearly.
