Shoot 3: Preparation

Plan

  • My plan for the course of this week is to conduct a 10-15 minute interview with Nana whereby I ask her a few questions about my Grandad.
  • I will start of by writing the questions out.
  • I will then give Nana a few days to think about the questions.
  • We will then conduct an interview based on the question.
  • The plan is to make the interview as natural as possible, like a conversation.
  • She knows the questions and has written down a few thoughts but we have agreed she will not read anything  she has written on paper, as to make hers a my responses as spontaneous as possible.
  • We will take as many takes as possible until we are both happy. The interview does not have o be perfect however as it will be like a normal conversation and so I want to reflect this.

Evalution: I think that the interview went really well. Nana improvised fantastically and her answers were flowing and well developed. Personally it is a relfief as she has been quite anxious about the project recently but today she seemed a lot more happy and reassured about it. The answer I got were very fascinating and interesting, espacially after the interview when I went for a walk and played the conversation through my heaphones. The fuzzy noise in the background I wasn’t happy about at first but after reviewing it I actually quite like it because it creates  a very natural and authetic feel to the coversation
