Shooting Your Interview

1. Choose your group.
2. From the array of Interview ideas in your group, vote amongst yourselves to select the best one, and select a runner up as a backup in case anything goes wrong with shooting the first.
3. Together, create a priliminary storyboard and plan the shots you will need to get.
4. From yourselves, select the crew with the following positions and responsibilities. All of you will edit a version of the project on Final Cut Pro. Some of you will have to double up on roles. You will fill out evaulations on each other's performance and involvement for this project.
5. Keep in mind that the final runtime of the interview will be 5 minutes long.

Group member grade

• After your interview is turned in you will answer a questionaire regarding you and the students you were grouped with. Your individual grade will be affected (some 20 to 30% of it) based on how your group-mates felt you contributed. Remember to be considerate, flexible and work as a group to get the best interview footage possible

Remember that projects are more than half your grade, don't be late or slack on this one!!!
