After speaking to Sam Creamer today to get a professional DoP's ingiht into how to compose a professional interview, I feel I have a greater understanging and better knowlege on how to compose a good interview, and there is definitely a skill to it. This made me refer back to previous external 'Project Walk to Talk' where I was asking Ben the questions of something that was a really sencetive topic and given he wasn't use to being interviewed he was understandably going to be nervous. Soemthing Sam said was to make sure that we stand in ourselves when setting up for an interview rather than using the actual interviewee. If they are nervous already then sitting them in front of bright lights whilst making constant adjustments means they have mroe tiem fro nervoiusness to build up and it feels more intimidating or to soemone who isn't use to televison or being interviewd it could look unprofessional. (Creamer, 2019) People who have been will understand this is standard practice. In developing this futer I also went on to researching online to see if thewre were any othewr guides so I could futher develop my learning. I found a source online which explained some key information regarding sensetive topics. Glenn Halbrooks from The Balance Careers said:

"If you are interviewing a man whose wife was killed in a tornado, you want to prepare your questioning to draw out as much emotion as possible. Instead of asking something like, "What time did the tornado hit?", you'll get more by asking, "What will your life be like without your wife by your side?" Notice that's an open-ended question that will give you a meatier answer than something like, "Are you sad your wife is gone?" which could only produce a simple, "Yes.""(The Balance Careers, 2019)
Some things I picked up myself is to allow maximum coverage, cutting shots from the side, pull focus. In my meeting with simon today he also suggested that I include shots of the locations as what he descirbed as a 'flat pack'. This would include things that set the tone and scene like establishing of the locaiton and interviewees in the locaiton.

Editng trailer wasa difficult process with such limited video footage. However, having researched different Netflixtrailers, I found I genuinelely liked their style. One crucial part of this, however, is having the footage to produce this and this is something I would like to improve, so I am treating this as a trailer tester to see if the style works for our documentary and how I want it to look. So far I have only been able to use footage from 'The Innovation of Justice' Shoot and also archive photos and videos. Whilst these are elements I will include in the actual trailer, I would want more interview and scene recreation footage to make it better branded to our film. The Editing Process behind this was fairly difficult but after brainstorming some ideas and researching into other trailers form Netflix I found a style I liked and a lot of that style came mostly from the edit, the choice of footage and audio and editing style. My first step in actually e...
