This has honestly been the best video on interviewing I’ve seen in 2020. The wealth of knowledge is just so encouraging especially when it’s not directed at selling gear or set at a certain demographic. Thank you so much.

Awesome content and advice. As an editor, DIRECTORS : PLEASE take heed: When questioning your subject, if you are not part of the interview, be sure that the person you're interviewing incorporates the subject of your question into their answer. Avoid their use of pronouns. If you ask "Tell me about the Maple"... and they say, "it's so large and colorful".... make them repeat their response to say "The Maple is so large and colorful". I can't tell you how many hours of unusable dialogue I've cut because the reference to the subject of the question is lost between the interviewer and the interviewee.

I think the one thing that was missed is the wide shot. What is confusing for people with limited equipment is the lighting of the wide shot where it is not as crucial for detail as the close-up. What I usually see is people lighting the wide shot, then losing the quality of the light by trying to zoom in on the talent without pulling the lighting and diffusion etc. closer. Some absolute great tips here though. It, like most things can be better with planning and this video explains very well, how and why. Very informative.

You will have them lift up the part of their glasses that sits on their ears to change the reflective angle. And sometimes turning their head to the side a little helps.

If you want as shallow dof as possible, why not 1.2, 1.4, 1.8? Those (and 2.8) are too difficult to nail focus with for me but if i really wanted blur i'd use my 85 1.4 or rent a 135 1.8.

It depends on the camera I am using. The C70 works great for autofocus. I do use automatic with newer cameras and manual focus with older cameras.

@jimmycanuck5340 2 жыл бұрын

Got it backwards. Higher camera diminishes the subject ( looking down on them). Slightly lower camera ( angled up) puts the subject in the superior position -looking down on you.

@TheSlantedLens 2 жыл бұрын

Higher angle is usually more flattering.

1. Is a contradiction. Putting people on a stool might be best for on camera read but it most certainly had never been most comfortable for the subject haha.

I don’t understand shooting at 2.8. Subjects tend to move forward especially when adjusting, or emphasizing. Then they go out of focus. Doesn’t that happen to you???
