Skype Interview with Mike Harrowes
Blog Post #46

Today in class our class engage in a Skype conversation with Michael Harrowes via video call. Throughout the interview my fellow classmate Daniel Bruce was asking questions to Michael which was set by the class, the reason why we asked various questions was that Michael had previous experience in the filming industry (specifically editing) this enabled us to gain a better understanding of exactly what  we could do to our opening title sequences.

The questions that were asked Michael Harrowes are worded below and also a link of the video is attached:

1. Can you name 3 key things we should aim to achieve when creating our opening sequences?

2. Do you have any useful tips about what we could add to our title sequences in order to improve the overall quality?

3. What would you consider to be the most challenging aspect of editing?

4. How would you say the way editing differs when you go from editing say a Comedy to a Thriller?

5. How has the use of Foley enhanced the quality of your films?

6. Using editing alone can you increase the intensity of a film/ sequence?

7. Can you tell us about the importance pace and rhythm have on a film?

8. How closely do you work with the director in a film?

9. In terms of editing how would you describe the thriller genre itself and how it should be portrayed 
via editing?

10. And to finish, what element of the editing process do you yourself enjoy the most?
