Now, for a couple of weeks, we've been working on a project for Hiki No its called " Elders words of wisdom ". We have a group of four and in the group we choose one of your group members elderly relative. We interviewed my grandfather on how he loves singing and playing hawaiian music and too spread aloha. My grandfather says to follow your dreams and do what you love. Me and my group worked together really well by splitting up the work so that none of us were left out.
Interviewing someone with no b-roll or voice overs can be boring and wont catch your audience. B-roll is very important because whatever the topic that your interviewee is speaking about you can add clips of him/her showing instead of seeing that persons head and them talking. So a question that me and my group chose was what was one of his first instruments that he got and then he said he got an ukulele when he was 10 yrs. old. so for the B-Roll we got a wide, medium, to close up shot of him caring for his ukulele.
Voice overs are narrations that are said through out a interview or documentary. However, when there is a voice over you usually see some b-roll and don't see the person being interviewed. Me and my classmates learned that if you don't have enough b-roll then you can use the person narrator doing the voice overs. It wont be grabbing your audience as much though. If you were just to see a person talking in an interview with no images or B-Roll it will not the as interesting or grabbing as you wan tit to be.
There will always be enough room for improvement . In my class we got to critique all the videos in our class this gave everyone a chance too improve our interviews for our final cut. Our class will have a film festival where some parents, teachers, and workers at our school can see the interviews.
