Post 5: Interview and Vox Pops Reflection.



            When shooting for the expert interview, we were searching for a more subtle background, one that didn't have many distracting patterns or activity going on behind the interviewee.  We found a small section of a wall in one of the preschool classrooms that was not heavily decorated and had color.  Unfortunately, the spot rested in a corner where the placement of the interviewee would've been awkward.  Our final decision was in a dance studio, where we had the subject sit behind the window overlooking some trees.  I was initially hesitant to choose that as a background, but because of our limited options, it was our best bet.  In the end it worked out well.  Instead of constantly swaying, the trees in the background barely moved at all, allowing the viewer (or at least me) to focus solely on our subject.   The background for the vox pops was not as much of a concern visually as the master shot.  Overall, everyone was helpful and informative, allowing us to get some quality shots.
