After having formed our final idea, our efforts are now shifted towards planning where we will film and the people we will interview. We got a good start by filming my high school team, youth teams, and young children with their parents playing pond hockey at Lake Nokomis last week. We have a few more ideas about places to go to film and the types of shots we need. As far as interviews go, Bradley has a connection with the founder of the U.S Pond Hockey Tournament, who would likely serve as a great voice throughout our video. We still have to contact him and attempt to find a few other people to interview as well. The difficulty of our topic is trying to think of a way our video can capture the emotion of the viewer. We are leaning towards the bond it creates for people of all ages, but we haven't finalized this aspect.
The reading gave me good insight on the process of interviewing. I learned more about the location of interviews and what factors to take into account to get intimate and individual responses from the interviewee. I also learned good techniques for interviewing like writing questions on an index card and leaving it on your knee in case you need to use it when your mind goes blank. The idea that I feel applies the most to students in our class is when you interview, actually listen to what the person has to say and reflect on their thoughts and emotions instead of reading each question after the next.
