Interview and Camera Tips

Interview Tips

• Have knowledge of your speaker. Know topics they can and can't talk about.
• Let them create a story with their personal opinions or experiences.
• Make them feel comfortable. Have good questions that keep them engaged.
• Have them talking to you, not the camera.

Camera Tips

• Defuse your lighting.
• Have nose room, head room, no space above head. Eyes should be 2/3 from the bottom of screen. Make sure hands don't have too much movement.
• Have a creative and proper background.

Lighting

• Key Light: brightest light that adds drama
• Fill Light: adds to the key light's shadow
• Back Light: lights up the back of your speaker. Separates them from the background.
