Interview Process

I ran into a lot of obstacles with this interview.  From the comments on my rough cut, I realized that the headroom in Bobby’s interview shot was awkward. When I was filming I wanted to show the wall in Bobby’s room that was decorated in a way that portrayed his vibrant personality, but then realized how there was too much room above his head. I was going to re film the whole interview, but when I first interviewed him it took 2 hours and I had so much footage to cut down and unfortunately we could not find time to reinterview. I then realized that the audio of the guitar clips was messed up. I showed the audio to Mike to see if he had any suggestions and we tried to fix it on Final Cut Pro, but he told me I would need to re film it. So I asked Bobby and Billy if I could film them again. We ran into another issue when we were filming the audio a second time around. The room was too dark and we tried to fix the ISO levels, but for some reason it wasn’t working. I had originally shot the whole interview plus music clips on a cannon which was easy to adjust the ISO levels and then the second time around I shot on a Nikon. We spent a good 30 minutes trying to fix it, but we couldn’t. I had to decide whether to replace the bad audio but good visual clips or vice versa. I tried to include both after attempting to adjust the visual problems of the second guitar clips on Final Cut Pro. Overall, I loved filming this interview despite the obstacles I faced. I was fascinated in the interview topic and I love the message my interview tells. Although my interview isn’t as flawless as I wanted it to be technically, subject wise I think it is awesome and I love rewatching it.
