To prepare for our Ceramic Artist interview the group drew-up areas to cover which we felt would be of interest to a broad audience. On paper, questions were revised and ordered to form a cohesive narrative. Having our beginning, middle and end on paper made editing a lot simpler, as footage was filmed then loaded in it’s desired order. The initial interview was kept simple, introducing our subject and her work. Later, questions were more specific, drawing out the subject’s personal outlook and values towards her craft. It was important to use this gradual approach as I felt if more testing questions were ask early on our interview would be unprepared. In this piece we wanted genuine, considered answers. I believe harder questions could be asked earlier on if the interviewer wanted to put the subject on the spot with an expose angle common in journalism.
The group felt pleased that we had made an interesting Actuality piece. However, we acknowledge it was too fragmented to be regarded as a sequence that could fit into a larger story.
