creating an interview

When creating an interview you need to make sure the person you are interviewing is comfortable by using eye contact and keeping your note reading to a minimum.  Also making sure the person you are interviewing doesn't look straight into the camera as they are not dressing the audience they are talking to you.

Another rule you need to stick by is the 180 degree rule as you don't want to confuse your audience by placing the camera in a completely opposite direction. This will look as if everything is the wrong way round when it comes to editing.

Be sure to not talk over the person you are interviewing as the audio an become broken and you could end up getting a much better answer if you let them finish speaking.



Lapel mic is a microphone you clip straight onto a person. You need to make sure that there is a gap above the person you are interviewing's head as you want to know they have got nothing on their head. Also a shot showing their shoulders up would be the best for an interview.
