Filming days 2 and 3 (Final interviews)

Yesterday myself and Anouchka went to meet Voka, Dupindar and Rob to film their interviews in the library. Voka and Dupindar were filmed together between two books shelves near the library skill zone and Rob was filmed at his desk behind the second floor help desk. Rob's interview went very well however when we watched the interview with Voka and Dupindar we were slightly unsure of including all of their answers. Although these two participants were very helpful and polite, giving us some good answers, they put a lot of emphasis on the fact that they enjoy the benefits of only working part time, and they enjoy having a long summer break. They spoke a lot about these kind of benefits rather than the aspect of helping students. Although this is fine and perfectly acceptable for them to say, it is not in-keeping with the tone of video and the point we are trying to make. We want students to be aware that the library staff are here because they want to help students therefore students should appreciate the help by being more respectful of them. To get around this we will include some parts of their interview but simply edit out the parts that don't fit with our idea.

Today we completed our filming with Judith and Martin. We filmed these interviews as we did the rest in the library, including the shots of them working to include throughout the documentary. Both interviews appear to have gone successfully and the participants gave some very good answers and it was interesting to interview Judith as she is the manager of the library, so her answers were quite different to some of the other staff. We are pleased with all the footage so far and have booked an editing suite to begin editing the interviews and creating our documentary.
