Film-making activity #1 - Interview your partner

During today's film-making activity, you will pair up and start to plan your filmed interview. That means we will have four groups of two making a 2-minute interview per group. So you need to decide who is going to be the interviewer and who's the interviewee. Both of you should appear on camera during the film. Before you start shooting: we would like you to write a very simple script which should include the dialogue between interviewer and interviewee, as well as what basic camera shots and lighting you plan to use. We aim to shoot the films in the drama studio under the stage.
