We interviewed one of our members in the group and it was quite interesting. When we first sat down to do it, i thought that this was probably going to become a really boring interview. I was in charge of sound and asking the questions.
our interview was based on asking questions about our subjects life, history etc. I asked pretty simple questions and found that the answers were very straight forward, but then we stumbled upon something interesting. we asked about one of her placements at a school when she was studying to be a teacher and she started to change her facial expression and get really into how she hated it and disliked everyone at the school.
From this i could see how having emotion is really good for filming documentaries. it almost doesn't matter what the topic is about, but if someone is passionate about something, they are able to connect with some sort of an audience.
this set the scene for our documentary. we knew we would have to do something that would present some sort of drama or emotion to our topic. if we just focused on cheerleading the sport, it could just end up being a promotional video rather than a documentary.
