Interviews with Mike Booth and Alex Harbord on Camera and Editing Techniques

Today I interviewed two of my lecturers, Mike Booth and Alex Harbord. Mike specialises in camerawork and sound and Alex specialises in editing. I asked them a couple of questions each in which will help me in my research for this blog.

Here is my interview with Mike Booth.

Here is my interview with Alex Harbord: Part 1.

Part 2.

Part 3.

Through having these interviews it has helped me understand things a lot clearer in the way action films are filmed and edited together. Through actually talking to people who specialise in these areas of expertise it has been far more use to me than reading a book or finding something off the internet as I feel that having a one to one conversation helps making things easier to understand and you can actually say if what they have said makes sense. Whereas when I have read a book or some information off a website it can be quite hard to understand what is being said as you can't simply ask them to elaborate on what they are talking about. Overall I would definitely recommend doing an interview as a way of research as it is more personal to you and will be far more helpful to you within your research.
