Interviews

=Interviewing=

Your movie should be a complete story that does more than could have been done on the printed pages of the yearbook. Your movie should include:
 * Title naming the activity and its sponsor
 * Photos
 * Music background that fits the subject of the movie
 * Video
 * Short sample of game or performance (except WWW trips)
 * Interviews
 * Credits naming the participants, music used and your name as producer and director. Give credit to photographers and videographers.

INTERVIEWS An interview can be serious or light, but it must be interesting! You should develop a theme that you are presenting using pictures, video and interview questions. It should all go together.

Questions should be provocative! Not “How was the season?” or “Do you like what you are doing?”

Instead ask “What was the highest (lowest) point this year?” or “What are the most valuable things you have learned in this activity this year?”

Interviews should be done with the camera very steady. Use a tripod whenever possible. Always use an external hand-held microphone. Be aware of the lighting and the background. Avoid noisy places or place with a lot of foot traffic.

Don't pan back and forth but instead, keep the camera on the person being interviewed. After the interview is over, you can video tape the questions being asked and also some shots of you listening and then later insert these at the right places using iMovie.
