My history with interviews
• After mining the Sitcom genre...
• Have my own talk show

format

10 Takeaways,10Videos
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw

• Scouting location
• Pre-interviewing (in person or phone)
• Building narrative arc
https://youtu.be/oqByKK7ktUQ
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
2.Visual Language
• Sit-down interview in office?
• Standing interview “on site”
• Voice-over driven
• Storyboard your framing
• Better to shoot too wide, than too tight
https://youtu.be/4Nxsfv_AcEY
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
3. Secondary Footage
• Ah, B-roll! Shoot wide variety
• Augment and reinforce talking points
• But also, show don’t tell
• Can be shot, collected separately from
interview
https://youtu.be/3AuHrp8hPs0
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
4. Lighting
• Formal studio lighting
• Bounce and fill
• Full on natural light
http://www.bc.edu/offices/avp/core/pilot-core-courses.html
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
5. Camera(s)
• Single Camera vs Multi-camera?
• If multi, match or not match cameras?
• The benefit of HD for the digital zoom
https://youtu.be/iry6Vr4D_FA
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
6. Sound
• Bad sound = bad video
• ALWAYS mic’ up your subject
• Wireless lav kit
• Monitor your audio
• Can record audio separately from video
• Get room tone!
https://youtu.be/GCWTOPd3250
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
7. Location
• Office, lab or similar authentic space?
• Or just good looking space?
• Sounds around your shooting space
• If natural light, scout at same time of day
https://youtu.be/j_6408ULGwg
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
8.The Actual Interview
• Warm up subject
• Go for conversation vs Q&A
• DO NOT give questions beforehand
• Know what you want to get and get it
• Circle back instead of hammering
• Repeat key messaging points in S, M, L
• Have subjets introduce themselves (again)
https://youtu.be/MtDEiAK9xCA
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
9. Post-production
• The danger of editing to transcript
• If piece hangs on interview, cut interview first
• Then utilize B-roll to fill in cuts, gaps
• Still imagery can work too (Ken Burns)
• Original animation, motion graphics if possible
• Audio and/or music can round out
• Consistent visual design/branding
https://youtu.be/vZGmxmKio-w
The Art of the Video Interview | @ravidjain | #casemmw
10. Maybe you don’t need
an Interview
• Full on “show, don’t tell”
• Mood piece
• On-screen text provides specifics

institutional voice
