Join Ashley Kennedy for an in-depth discussion in this video Behind-the-scenes 2: Shooting interviews, part of Creating Video for a Non-Profit.
- The interviews are a major part of our video…and that's what we're gonna focus on now.…Let's talk about what we want to achieve with them.…So, the interviews are all about the men's lives…and focus on their experience within the Cred Program.…In contrast with the performed memoir,…these will be more traditional in their look and feel.…We should feel like the men are talking frankly…to the audience, so we need to do what we can…to create a sense of warmth, trust,…and relatability in the way that we shoot these.…
So, let's talk about the logistics…of conducting our interviews.…First, before inviting the interview subject…into the recording space, you need to set up the camera…and tripod at the appropriate distance…from the interview location.…This is when you make any adjustments…in terms of camera placement and height.…Once the general framing of the shot looks good…then you can invite the subject in.…In general, you want to follow the rule…of thirds when shooting an interview.…This means that you divide the frame into thirds…
