Class November 9

Today our job was to interview Cynthia Lyles Quinn. It was great to learn about her and what she does on a daily basis. We utilized this class time by taking everything we have learned so far and putting it forward. The production process, three point lighting, and scripting were crucial to this interview. As a class, we set up lighting, moved things around, and staged the interviewer and the interviewee. This was part of the pre production process. Mary got warmed up by practicing an interview with Carla. We then filmed the interview of Mary and Cynthia. After this production, we asked Cynthia questions to learn more about her. Cynthia seems passionate about what she does. She shared with us that its not about what your career is, its what you do with it.
What I learned: I learned how to apply everything we have done so far and produce it in one class. I learned a lot about Cynthia as well.
Evaluation: This class was one of my favorite so far. I thought the class did a good job of taking on roles that were crucial to the interview process. Abby took charge by making up questions, assigning people tasks, and instructing the interview. We had three people filming, Nicole captured Cynthia, Chris captured Mary from an angle, and Lauren captured the two shot. Mary did a great job of guiding the conversation with Cynthia. She approached each question well and caused the interview to flow well. Doc Chris allowed us to take the reigns and put forward what he has taught us. 
Expectations: I expect to continue interviewing and getting more comfortable with it. I look forward to interviewing Crystal Bass in the future.
