Interview Notes

How to conduct an interview:

Can I have you run the microphone up through your shirt and clip on your shirt. Or over the shoulder. Mics should be heard but not seen.
  1. Casually start with the weather, etc: find a commonality, don’t chit chat about the story save that for the interview
  2. Say your name and Spell it, what is your role here? What is your title?
  3. Reporter doesn’t say anything during answers no UMMS, AHHHS
  4. Videographer is getting the camera set up while reporter is breaking the ice. Videographer gives a signal when ready: clear throat.
  5. Don’t make subject a part of the crew
  6. Framing: Eyes on third always on all shots. OK to cut head off not the chin.
  7. The Nose knows (lead room) allow more space on side of nose
  8. Videographer should change framing each question
RIGHT HAND: Eyes on Thirds, Nose Knows, Audio it’s always Audio have head phones , Background, Lighting
