We were assigned to interview an older person that has advice or words of wisdom to share with the world. We decided to interview my grandmother, Annie. The story shows and explains how Annie struggled, dealt with, and overcame alcoholism. We used composition techniques such as the rule of thirds and leading lines. We also used sequencing with a set of three shots with wide, medium and close up. Sequencing shows the action of doing something with three shots. It is a very popular movie production technique and is in every major film. Our words of wisdom are important because it tells people how to always choose the right path in life and know that everything has consequences. This video shows how alcohol can take over someone's life and how dangerous it can be. It pushes people to try and never be in a bad situation because of alcohol. When making this video we could have filmed more b-roll of more important things. We also could have made the voiceovers more clear. Overall, I think we did a good job!
Below is the video we made.
