PLANNING: HOT SEAT INTERVIEW

For a few lessons now, my group and I have been spending time planning a hot seat interview for our main character, Blake Taylor. We worked together to think of questions to ask her and also to think of a more interesting way to present these questions. We came up with the idea to present them as if she was on a late night show and a host was talking to her.

By using various shot types, like shot reverse shot and zoomed out establishing shots where both myself (the show host) and Leila (Blake Taylor) were seen to portray the talk show feel. 

Once we filmed our hot seat interview, using iMovie we edited all together and made it run smoothly, just like a talk show would. Then, we used the 'reduce background noise' setting to block out talking going on in the background, it make it as professional as possible.

  1. This is a brilliant idea! You have helped yourselves as a Production Team by thinking through the backstory in your protagonist's life. You have shown her as a mother and a professional woman in the public eye. pursued by photographers. You hint at the 'scandal' which has caused her pain, but I guess that we have to wait for the film opening to know a bit more about this!
