Recording Effective Interviews P.2

One thing that you can do to heighten the production value of your interview shoot is to use a second camera. By adding a second camera to the scene, it allows for more dynamic angles for the viewer to see during the interview. If placed correctly, a cut from one camera to another could feel seamless, like the viewer is sitting right with the subject. Another thing the video mentions is the 3 point lighting system. The 3 point lighting system is a basic way to light an interview consisting or a key light, a fill light, and a hair light. All 3 of these combined bring the subject out from the background and made easier to see on camera. One last thing the video says about interviews is adjust the lights and camera depending on the feel you want for the interview. If you want someone to feel small, you can angle the camera down onto them, making the viewer feel like they're above them. Without these different aspects of interviews, it would be harder to create something engaging for the viewer.
