Codes and Conventions of an Expert Interview

Shot

Unfortunately there was not enough equipment for us to take two shots at once, so we used one camera, filming the interviewee answering the questions first, then the

interviewer asking them after. We did it in the same location immediately after so that the lighting, setting

and sound would be the same so we could put each take together.

We ensured that the shots were useable and

correct by having someone behind the camera at all time,

making sure that the positioning of the shot

was right.

We also ensured someone always wore headphones so that we knew

the microphones were working correctly.

For our expert interviews, we used clip-microphones rather than shotgun microphones so that the sound would be even throughout.

We used shotgun microphones during vox-pops as they were easier to set up.
