In a fantastic video from B&H and Chase from Zacuto, we get some simple tips for shooting interviews, whether you're in a studio or on location: Topics discussed include assessing the physical space, any ambient and/or lighting considerations, setting up lights and the types of lights you might want to use,’ choosing the right type of mics based on the shooting environment, camera positioning, and other details required to produce professional-looking video interviews.
Beyond the technical details, I think one of the most important aspects of shooting interviews is that you help your subject feel comfortable, which is step number 7. For people who aren't on camera often, having a camera in their face and lights blasting them isn't the most natural setting, and often people tense up when they're going to be interviewed. If you want truly natural reactions, already having your cameras and sound rolling before the interviewee sits down can have a dramatic difference. Finding Time to Read.

When you're paying by the day for your equipment, actors, and crew, it's in your best interest to make sure shoots run as efficiently as possible. Give up greenhouse gaseous meat? Lettuce rethink. Bacon is better than lettuce when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, the study suggests. Photo: William Meppem There may be good reasons to eat more leafy greens and less meat, but if you're doing it to save the planet, you may be kidding yourself. Among the shock findings from a new US study for vegetarians, vegans and respected colleagues, lettuce is "over three times worse in greenhouse gas emissions than eating bacon", and "eggplant, celery and cucumbers look particularly bad when compared to pork or chicken".
The study by Carnegie Mellon researchers found that switching to a healthier diet rich in fruit and vegetables and light on meat could actually be worse for the environment. Location Audio Microphone Progression. As a location sound operator who's spent time trying out, evaluating and choosing microphones to purchase for recording sound in the field, I can tell you that the process was a little more frustrating and confusing than I expected.
