Task 2

Interview prep

Task:

• Working in groups, your task is to conduct and interview about the subject of mobile phones.



• Your interview will then be edited ito a short film so that only the answers are used- the audience will not hear any of the questions being asked.



• In order to avoid jump cuts you will therefore need to film cutaway shots which can be used in the editing process.



• You will need to think of a title for your shot film.



• You will also lay a music bed under the edited interview.
