Reframing the Interface 5- Doug Interview + Thoughts

Due to Doug's busy schedule because of the recording of the new Airforce album and his job I could only shoot on weekends meaning I ended up filming Doug's interview on the 19th of March, A few days before Buffalo Fish' Interview. Even though this was a lot later than the early interviews I did and later than I expected, it gave me more time to research into Doug's career even further and plan the shoot more efficiently.

I arrived at Doug's at around 1pm with Julia, who was assisting me on the shoot and operating the boom microphone and helping set up equipment. We got around to shooting the interview around 2:30pm. From following previous setup's I had done in the past, I set up the interview a lot quicker than before, and perfected the framing to the best of my ability to make for an aesthetically pleasing shot.

I felt the shoot went well and of all the shoots I had done this shoot had come out the best visually and audio-wise as the levels were a lot more accurate than previously due to Julia being able to operate the boom at a closer position. I also shot the introduction to my film, which in my head would begin with exterior shots of a suburban street, pleasant and calming which would soon cut to Doug playing drums loudly and obnoxiously. I filmed additional shots of Doug drumming for a few minutes to add as a cutaway to the film. In addition to this I filmed little aspects around the home, for instance plaque's, posters, ornaments and so on to add a variety to the shots I could choose from.
