interviews are very important to the final product of the documentary. To make sure that the interviews are definitely good enough for our final piece, we decided to make sure that the people that we interview, are in their "rightful place." For example, we have the idea to interview one of our friends because he games a lot and would have a perfect opinion on gaming for our documentary. we would interview him in the sixth form as the background would portray what he does, which is go to sixth form, so it would portray what sort of people game. there is a classic stereotype that it all young people that game, and that is being mentioned in the documentary. so having a young person with his school surrounding in the background would be very good to have.
This is an an example of what we will put in our final documentary. Here, josh is another sixth form student (not the one mentioned earlier) who is taking part in an interview in his "rightful place." here he is just in a typical boys room. We thought that it would be good to have these settings thought out as it adds more to the interviews. For one, it makes the interviews less bland, and it adds the stereotype to the explain in the narrative. |
Due to the fact there is so much going on in the background, but it is slightly blurred out, it would make the audience focus on the person, but just adds something small to the interview. Also, the fact that having people in set places for interviews makes it easier to portray the narrative. This is due to the fact that having stereotypes makes it easier to get footage for and therefore easier to link footage to the narrative. if we have a 18 year old with a controller in their hand, then it will help the stereotype to make people think that all 18 year olds game. in turn, the narrative therefore is portrayed to the audiences much better if you have a young person questioning whether they are addicted or not.
