Inerview with a Vampire (or a Plumber or a Teacher or Tiger Woods)

The biggest news story of the week - the long-fought remarkable Health Care vote? or... the 5-minute Tiger Woods interview?

One element of the CLAMmers final project is the interview. This seemingly simple format (ask a question, get an answer, repeat) is a useful tool for journalists, ethnographers, students, and a plethora of other people who want to learn things.

I'm attaching a few links below to a site called Media College. This free site offers instructions on a variety of media concerns, but I refer you to the section on shooting interviews. Try the site here: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/interviews/

You will find helpful info on a variety of topics related to your video interviews, such as

• framing
• composition
• vox pop interviews
• editing
• lighting

So, get busy shooting more photos, more video, more interviews - your final projects should really start taking shape. Get busy with the new material, post your photos and vids, and do great work!
