Storyboard Carry out a storyboard of real interview similar to yours to give

you ideas of the shots/angles/edits you intend to use.
Storyboard of your actual interview
Script TWO copies. Have one version for yourself to use on the day this
should look like a professional script. The second version needs to be
highlighted, demonstrating to me the interview techniques you have used

and how you have structured it and why (i.e building bridges, developmental
questions) Use the terms from the website we looked at and also these key
terms question formulation, progressive questions, summary, introduction.
Use the website to help you and the key terms from unit 36/37 P1

Cue Cards These need to be real cue cards you will use on the day (logo on
the front, filled in correctly on the back).
Shooting script this covers a list of the camera shots you will use, what
question you will ask in that time/what you will say. Similar to a storyboard
but without images. It should also include timings.
Rehearsal once you have finished all your planning above you will carry
out a filmed rehearsal of your interview.

To get a distinction this needs to be well planned, professional and

organised remember all the hard work you did for your film paper work
