The+versus+interview

This is a short project in which you will work with a partner to produce a short video of an interview. In this case, the interviewer should be the nemesis (arch-enemy) of the interviewee.



For example:
 * Steve Jobs interviews Bill Gates
 * Britney Speirs interviews Lady Gaga
 * Neil Lennon interviews Ally McCoist
 * Winston Churchill interviews Adolf Hitler
 * Tom interviews Jerry
 * Sideshow Bob interviews Bart Simpson
 * Batman interviews The Joker
 * Angelina Jolie interviews Jennifer Aniston
 * Lee Harvey Oswald interviews John F Kennedy
 * Lewis Hamilton interviews Jenson Button
 * etc.

You will take it in turns with your partner to be the interviewer and the interviewee. Each interviewer will script a brief intro to their guest where they will summarise their background. They will then ask the interviewee three relevant questions.

The interviewer will also take on the role of cameraperson. As cameraperson you will then be responsible for editing the video which you have filmed.

Your video should include the following
 * Good steady video footage
 * At least one title
 * At least one transition
 * A cut away (cut to the image or video of something that is not the interviewee

Can you add a soundtrack?
 * Extension work**

Write a blog post evaluating this task. Consider the following questions:
 * Evaluation**
 * How did you capture the footage?
 * How did you edit the video?
 * What features did you use to enhance your video?
 * Describe two things which worked well for your video
 * Describe one thing which you would improve if you were going to do this task again

Can you write a blog post explaining how to film an interview sequence?
 * Extension work**
