'It's Good To Talk' Editing and Evaluation.

After we erased the questions from the interview, we added in music to make it more interesting. However, the music, 'Don't stop me now- Queen' held no relevance to the topic which was phones and was too loud, distracting the viewers attention from the interviewee. When creating our documentary and filming interviews to feature within it, we will take this into account and properly plan the song in advance.
Previous to creating our interview and editing it, we hadn't decided fully on a title, but we added in 'It's Good To Talk' last minute. This lacks interest and therefore, when we are creating a title for our documentary we will consider it properly.
We only filmed one cutaway despite planning to film a couple. This meant that we didn't have a set place to put it. To make it more interesting, we should have used a pan or zoom. Other issues with our interview included the following: Our interviewee was not situated in the correct place in relation to the conventional rule of thirds way. We realised after filming that our interviewee should have been slightly more to the right of the frame. The mise-en-scene was distracting as it included film posters and computers which took attention away from the interviewee and what she had to say. Our voiceover did not carry on as the cutaway was played which meant that ultimately it was pointless. The lighting was not conventional and distracting as there was a light shining off our interviewees face. When we asked our interviewee the questions, she did not repeat them or reinforce them within her answer to let the audience know what she was referring to in her answers. Also, the level of sound was far too loud.
