Post 8:

Today we finally got our interview footage! The total time is took us to film was about 2-3 hours. The boys had to rehearse how they would answer the interview questions. They were kind of nervous, but thankfully they got over it and sat in front of the camera with ease. We had difficulty selecting a spot in the house with not too much lighting, but at the same time, not too much darkness. We decided to film in my lounge room, in front of a window with the blinds open slightly so just enough light could come through. As the interviewees did not want their faces shown, we chose to use darker lighting - rather than blanking out their faces in the editing process. Once we had found the location for filming and the correct amount of lighting, we discussed which angle to film the boys. We found that it looked better to film them on 45 degree angle rather than having the camera directly in front of them - they also prefered not having to like straight into the camera.

Both interviews were filmed in a mid-shot, which included the torso and the head of the boys. It was a high appeture shot, with alot of backlighting and minimal front lighting. This was how we achieved to shadow the interviewees faces.

Now that the filming is complete - we will be able to edit next week. We have also recieved responses from all three Youtube members. Now it is up to us to select which footage we like best.
