Filming - Spiders Interview

Today in school we decided to interview people who are afraid of spiders. We interviewed three people, male and female. After we had finished asking them they questions we asked them to lift up the bowl in front of them to see what was underneath, which, was fake spiders so that we could film how they would react. However when we looked back at what we filmed we decided we will need to do it again another day, as we did not like the framing and we wanted to bring in a real spider to show the interviewee's to see how they actually would react when faced with a spider.

Filming - Tall Buildings Interview and Vox Pops

Today our group went over to Liverpool to film our vox pops and the interview with Aislynn; who has a fear of tall buildings. To begin with we asked her a couple of questions about how she was feeling on the bus journey to Liverpool, before we interviewed her in front of the Anglican Cathedral. We also filmed some footage of the Cathedral as well as some of the Radio City tower. Afterwards we then went to the centre and filmed our vox pops of both men and women. Some went well but others weren't as good because the people held their microphone too high, however we thought that the interview with Aislynn went well as she answered all our questions and some were quite detailed.

Filming - Interview with the Hypnotherapist

Today we went to interview the hypnotherapist and we thought it went quite well as his answers were detailed and they fully answered out questions. We filmed him in medium close up and framed him to the left. However, to begin with the framing was not too good so we rearranged and started again. The mise-en-scene was just a plain wall so that the audience could focus on what the hypnotherapist was saying, and he sat in a comfy chair which is what his patients would sit in.

Filming - Petshop

Today we went back to the petshop to get some more footage of the snakes and mice. We also got some of the lizards and spiders as well. We can use this footage either as part of a montage or as cutaways during interviews, therefore I feel that it went well as we gathered plenty of footage that we can use. We mainly got close-ups and big-close ups of the animals that were there which includes; spiders, rodents, snakes, hampsters, lizards and fish.
