Introducing the subject of the interview shoot
In the examples for this course, we're shooting interviews and footage of a series of short documentary podcasts for a local shop that creates surfboards. For this project, we conducted a series of interviews with people who make the surfboards at the board shop. We also shot a series of interviews with the surfers who used their boards and then gathered all the B-roll, or additional images we needed to support our story. Even though some subjects may only appear onscreen for a few seconds in the finished project, the individual setups and interviews actually took much more time. But that's a nature of documentary-style productions. You gather a good deal of raw footage, then mine it all for only the best material that goes straight to the goal of your project. In this case, our goal was to educate potential customers about the thought, craft, and process that go into making each and every individual surfboard.
