I have only just found this and found it interesting but thought I should point the fifth form and one that single TV camera people have used for interviews with one camera and a reporter for years. What they do is shoot the interviewee all the way through the interview and then film the reporter doing noddies and asking the questions. This can be used if you are on your own and you want to be the reporter or interviewer in shot as you can shoot the interviewee while behind the camera and then re set up the camera for your questions and noddies.

Great video! If the key light is too harsh, how about using a bounce board or white reflector? I think a hair light really helps a lot and doesn’t really require diffusion. For Canon, how about a R6 mark II and/or an R7? They are about the same prices as the corresponding Sony cameras and do not have recording limits. Thank you for the great content!

Thank you! I need to learn how to make interviews for my channel... I have a very limited budget and limited equipment... I have to make it at best with just 2 Insta360 RS 4K cameras (action cameras), the Rode Wireless GO II and no lights... It will be a challenge!
@Scriptshepherd Жыл бұрын
You're welcome! I understand - sometimes you have to make interviews work with a limited budget. I would recommend utilizing natural lighting with a window, and perhaps selling the two Insta 360 cameras to buy a cheap M43 or APS-C sensor camera. Although, I don't know what type of interviews you do.

Great video, thanks for sharing. A quick question on focus mode for option 2. How do you manage that when you are part of the interview. Do you set focus manually and then hope for the best or is there another trick here? Thanks a mil!
@Scriptshepherd2 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! A couple options: 1. If you are interviewing someone in a wide two-person shot (like in the video example at 5:18), manually focus on the other person, and then sit across from them in the same focal plane, where if they are in focus, you will be too. It also helps to use a wider aperture (higher f-stop #, e.g. f/5.6).and wider angle (lower mm#, e.g. 24mm) This allows more of the scene to be in focus, and reduces the chance of moving out of focus. 2. Connect an external monitor to the camera, whether remotely or with a long cable that reaches where you are sitting. Enable focus peaking lines on the monitor, and you'll be able to monitor if you are in focus. 3. Use a camera with reliable autofocus

Thank you! And that's a great point. Since the time this video came out, it's probably better to find a used A7siii, or new cameras that have been released that have addressed overheating, like a Canon R6ii or Panasonic S5ii.

Awesome info. I have a quick question, I love the accessories on the black magic, however, I'm totally nervous about doing sit-down interviews and having the subject moving around as people do when nervous energy takes over. Where is the happy medium? My budget for cameras hovering around 6-7K. Thanks, Alan
@Scriptshepherd Жыл бұрын
Hey Alan, thanks for comment. Will you be behind the camera for the interviews? If so, you could monitor the focus/framing. You can also use a wider lens (like 35mm) and a narrower aperture (like F/4), so that more is in frame and in focus, and the subject is less likely to move out of it. Otherwise, I'd recommend going with a camera with reliable eye-tracking autofocus, some of which I have listed in the description. With your budget, I think the best overall option is the Sony FX3: amzn.to/3IgVati That said, you can definitely get cheaper APS-C cameras for high quality interviews, such as the new FX30, and even pair it with a Blackmagic for two angles.

Thanks so much. This was super helpful.I would like to do more scenario 4 type interviews and only have a Canon Gshot Mark 2 camera which does the job. With zero money, which camera would you suggest buddies up well and cheap mics too please? Thanks again.

Unfortunately the canon doesnt take a microphone either which is a challenge ..

I'm glad the video helped!! With zero money, I recommend pairing your smartphone with it. You could buy another point-and-shoot (like a Panasonic LX-10) for a few hundred bucks, but at that quality level, I'd rather utilize my phone, and save up for camera upgrades and audio. For audio, I'd recommend getting a cheap shotgun mic, like the Takstar SGC-600 I linked in the description. You can mount it on a light stand/boom arm over your subject, and run a long 3.5mm cord into an audio recorder like this Zoom H1n: amzn.to/3XjnDVc Then you can monitor your audio from the Zoom recorder. If you want something more compact and "set-it-and-forget-it" - I'd get the Tascam DR-10L: amzn.to/3GTZ2RL You can mic up your subject and record straight to it. You wouldn't really be able to monitor your audio, but it can record two tracks at different levels for safety. I often rely on this for professional work, and it's a solid option. Let me know if that helps and if you have any questions!

@Scriptshepherd Жыл бұрын
@@theRaeCast Ohh, I didn't realize you need to record your own audio. The Tascam can only record one person at a time - so you'd need two of them (one for each person). But yes, the audio records into the Tascam, not your camera. Alternatively, you could get a 2-person wireless lavalier system, like I discuss at 13:54 in the video. This will provide one receiver and two transmitters, for you and your subject (though you'll have to buy lav mics separately and a recorder to plug the receiver into). I have the Rode and DJI mics linked in the description, but I personally prefer DJI now. The issue with these is, because they're wireless, you can get transmission interference (static/drop-outs). To get one of these systems would cost the same as buying two Tascams, so I'd personally recommend getting two Tascam DR-10Ls.
