Video interviews
Interview shoots are very unforgiving. This is a situation in which you must get everything right first time and make the job flow smoothly and comfortably for everyone involved.Interviews will quickly fall apart if things start going wrong or taking a long time. Operators should be able to organize and shoot interviews in their sleep. It is a skill which must be second nature, so you should be well practiced in this art before you attempt a very important interview. Most interviews start with a fairly loose shot of the interviewer. Make sure you leave enough room for a name if necessary. It's usually best to have similar framing for both interviewer and guest at the beginning of the interview. As the interview progresses the relative framing can vary. A common practice is to begin the interview with a mid-shot as the guest talks about the facts, then slowly zoom in to a close up when the guest begins talking about their feelings. This technique is popular in current affairs programs and documentaries. Don't drag the close-up on for too long — after a while it becomes uncomfortable and makes the viewer feel that they are invading the speaker's personal space. Watch television interviews and learn to judge the timing of these moves. That is all I have to say about this subject
