Final Major Project - The Interview

As I needed something visual for the end of year Screening, I teamed up with James Ogden, Ashley John and Scott Fisher (all whom were just writing for their projects) and we created a series of interviews for the showing.

These interviews are each of us in turn, talking about our project. We used all of the same questions for each interview, including things such as "How did you think of the idea?" and "What are your hopes for the project in the future?".

In order to do these, we used a green screen. This enabled me to learn how to edit green screens on after effects. We also, rather than a standard boring background, wanted to make it look like we were in locations relevant to each of our pieces - hence the GreenScreen. This is known as Photorealism. We managed to edit the lighting accordingly, and film each of us in a way that we were able to input ourselves into a good location - for example, my piece is very dark and gothic, and a basement features prominently throughout, so I put myself in a very dark basement.

This benefited us greatly, helping me to learn new skills in editing, as well as creating something solid that can be used within the screening.

I will also be submitting this interview as part of my project, as I believe it helps to give a personal opinion of exactly what my project is and why I decided to do it.
