Interview with Jason Rodman.

For this assignment our group had to do an interview with a talented person, and we spoke with Jason Rodman, who is a Senior PR student here at Roger Williams University. He has been playing for about 10 years, and told us that he is practically self-taught.

We first wanted to record him for the audio track, and he did a great job as he played an impromtu medley of songs and strung them all together to create a very unique background for us to use. It also showed off his different skills and really showed his talent as he talks about it.

The thing we experimented the most with were camera angles, and tried to get a different angle and shot, and also changed the level of zoom at some points, for each question we asked him. It gave the video more artistic value, which seemed appropriate for this assignment.

For another interesting element, we also videotaped him playing for additional visual interest, and it worked well to incorporate that. He also had very interesting answers that showed his personality and his love for being a musician.

So far, this is the project that really stands out for us because we were able to try some new things, as it wasn't necessarily news, but a profile that gave us a little more artistic license. The editing is very smooth, and the way we had envisioned this project was exactly how it came out.



Peace.
