Video Capture Techniques
Steady Your Shots
(cont.)
Tripod Lean on / against
Anticipate Action
Think ahead, get positioned for Action to Come
Movement Into or Out of Frame
Interviews
Provide general scope of interview : want to capture fresh response
Person looks at you, not into camera | Shoot from the side
Sit-down Interview:
Set-up Shot (back and side of reporter and shows only subject talking)
Wide-angle Shot (shows back of reporter and subject talking)
Cut-Away Shot (frontal shot of reporter listening to the person … same
side as set-up shot … don’t cross line of sight)
Avoid High Contrast Lighting Situations
Don't place subject against bright background
