We chose to interview the Drakes because their fraternity exemplified the true meaning of brotherhood. We hoped to convey to the viewers that there’s more to a fraternity than parties and “looking” cool. A fraternity is centered around brotherhood and the uplifting of others in your community. Choosing to interview such an influential person on the Austin College campus was the best decision we as the interviewers could have made due to the fact that we were able to get out a message to the public.
When editing the project we had to take into consideration how the audience would feel and how the interviewees would feel about our editing process. So we chose images and music that would support our message rather than stray the audience from the true meaning of the film. Images and music that are incorporated are solely of the house and the fraternity brothers because we wanted to keep our central theme of brotherhood. In order to keep Austin front and center, majority of the video is of him. Also to keep our central theme prevalent majority of editing techniques are based on brotherhood.
Our interview was a huge success because we were able to get all of our interview questions answered and also additional information. We don’t believe our interview could have gone any smoother, it was what we wanted and more. The setting was perfect and the attitudes of the interviewees were perfect. The Drake Fraternity was the best choice for us because we wanted to get the message out about the importance of brotherhood.
