Shoot a location interview.

Shooting should include

• calibrating the recording equipment (e.g., mic check)
• using a variety of shots (e.g., cutaways, reversals, over the shoulder [OTS], rule of thirds)
• considering location parameters (e.g., lighting, framing, background noise)
• re-wording the questions to solicit concise statements from the interviewee
• providing an opportunity for additional thoughts from the interviewee
• providing a statement of the subject’s identification and the date of the interview (i.e., documentation).

Process/Skill Questions:

• Which shots and camera angles are required for a typical video interview?
• What are the most typical problems that hamper effective shooting of interviews on location?
• What are some common equipment needs and issues associated with location interviews?
• How does shooting on location differ from shooting in a studio?
