Media team

Today the media team got to meet with Kerry Du Pont who explained great ways to film videos and different ways to do so.

He taught us what he does and me and another boy got to interview him so he could tell us how we did and what was important about an interview. If you want to become and actor you have to be very patient and do the same scene over and over again until you get it the way they want it.

Kerry also taught us different ways to shoot a video for example you can sit on a wheel chair and get someone to push you closer to an item or person, the different types of shots can be...
Long shot, close shot, close wide shot and long wide shot.

We also talked about one of the shows Kerry films (What now) and how when you are making a T.V show you need a story behind it something that catches the audiences attention and make people want to watch it again.

Finally he talked about editing and and the cons of being famous, being famous can mean you lose a lot of privacy because people want to get to know you and be your friend and when what now had an interview with Justin Bieber they accidentally spilt a drink all over his pants and he left the interview but came back later and finished it. 

When editing a video it could be a months worth of taping but you only take certain parts to make it shorter and make it more interesting so people will want to watch it without falling asleep halfway through, tips are when you are recording that when you count down start your recording 2 seconds earlier before people start acting that way you can look back on it and fix your mistakes.

That's all we had time from the interview next we will be invited to look at what now behind the scenes!

  1. Hey Jaimie,
    This is a good recount of the time we had with Kerry. I hope that you used some of what he taught us when you were filming the Student Summit Videos. What do you think your next video will be of? How do you think you went at interviewing?
