5 Question Interview

 This week in Mr. Hardwood’s class, we were tasked with producing and editing an interview between two senior students, Jayln Woodbury and Summer Gray. The goal was to put our production skills to the test — from setting up lighting and sound to capturing clean, professional footage and editing the final video into a polished interview segment.

We filmed inside the theatre, which gave the video a nice cinematic touch. The lighting setup played a big role in bringing the space to life, and I had to make sure both subjects were well lit without too many shadows. Sound was just as important — clear audio can make or break an interview — so I made sure to use proper mics and adjust the levels carefully during editing.

What I really enjoyed about this project was the teamwork. Once one person finished their interview, we rotated roles — switching between interviewer, camera operator, and sound technician. It was a great way to help each other learn and see the process from different perspectives.

After filming, I handled the video editing, syncing the sound, adjusting color and lighting, and adding smooth transitions to keep the flow natural. Seeing the finished product come together after all the setup and coordination felt rewarding.

This assignment not only improved my technical production skills but also reminded me how valuable collaboration is in media work. Everyone played their part, and by working together, we turned a simple class task into a professional-looking project.
