Working in groups, your task is to conduct an interview about the subject of mobile phones.
Your interview will then be edited into 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 t film cutaway shots which can be used in the editing process.
You will need to think of a title for your short film.
You will also lay a music bed under the edited interview.
Before filming need to plan and storyboard the mise-en-scene of the interview and the cutawat shots you are going to film.
Our group decided to concentrate on the interviewee's mobile phone history.
We decided on a temporary title of Connecting People?
The Mise-en-scene would be The Steet in school by the greenhouse, Nathans office with technology in the background when talking about technology and the roadside to make it look like we have stopped people in the street.
The cutaway still images we will use is pictures of mobile phones old-new.
We have planned to use the old Nokia ringtone, song from the year of the phone we look at and a recent "happy" uplifting song.
These are the questions that we will ask during our interview.
