Shooting great news video
Step-by-step
Step 1: Planning

✤   Figure out your goal. Write it down if you have to

✤   Sketch out a brief outline - what is the general flow of the story?

✤   Who do you need/want to interview?

✤   What equipment do you need? (Test it ahead of time!)

✤   What access do you need (Do you need to call your subject for a “pre
    interview” or get access to a business?)

✤   Do you need a friend to help you shoot the video?
Step 2: The Interview

✤   Dress appropriately

✤   Hook up mic early - before you get going

✤   Establish rapport - spell out names/titles!

✤   Explain what you’re doing and why

✤   When they go off your script, explore it

✤   Don’t be shy - ask them to repeat things

✤   Thank them for helping out!
Class-time
assignment

✤   I pair you up

✤   You take turns interviewing
    each other

✤   After the interview, I will ask:
    What was the interview about?
    How would you shoot it? What
    b-roll would you shoot? Where
    would you shoot it?
Shooting an interview

✤   Use a tripod or monopod!

✤   If possible, use two cameras to get an extra angle

✤   Be sure lighting is how you want it. Shadows will be accentuated on
    film, overexposures will be worse than you expected.

✤   Be sure audio is set up - lavalier mics are the best, but be sure audio is
    good. It’s actually best to use headphones attached to audio source

✤   Use the rule of thirds
