RA Interview

For this interview I decided to interview my RA Rachel. I had her stand in front of my camera and pretty much give me a litany of her duties as a resident adviser of the Almeida Apartments. While many are hesitant to talk in front of the camera, Rachel was eager to begin her segment and came out firing. It was a very smooth interview overall, there wasn't a lot of dead air or uncomfortable silence.

I learned while shooting this clip that in order for an interview to work all the pieces need to be put together. Questions need to be formulated ahead of time. The positioning of the camera needs to be mounted before the interview even begins. The interviewee needs to be calm and in a good place, prepared to talk about whatever it is they are talking about.

My Camera Continued...

So the Flip Video Ultra made it to NYC with me last weekend and we had a blast. We took a trip to a jazz club in lower Manhattan and to the Natural History Museum. I have yet to get the tripod so for now we'll have to stick with shotty B-Roll footage. We have class on Thursday, I hope we begin to use Final Cut Pro a little more because I have another class I could use that program for.

Till next time!

Hurwitz Interview

Dave Hurwitz is a Junior communications major (not interior design) at Roger Williams University, and not to mention my roommate. Dave has focused his sights on journalism and plans on writing for a major publication or anybody that will hire him when he graduates. Dave is an avid racquetball player and hails from Newton, Massachusetts. I found Dave to be interesting specimen for my interview as his calm and casual ways call for a good interviewee.

Dave has many interests including guitar playing at 2am to his regular Tuesday night radio spot.

This Blog is not yet Rated

Last week we took a gander at the documentary cleverly titled "This Film is not yet Rated." I enjoyed the film immensly as the double standards of Hollywood ratings vary from film to film, whether it be a girl-on-girl scene or a straight scene people take note. The undercover private investigating work added a touch of humor while they tried to figure out the members of the rating association. I'd recomend this film to anyone.
