Interview
Problem
Conduct an interview with a classmate, employing professional production techniques to ensure high-quality visual and audio output. In addition to the interview footage, record supplementary shots of the surrounding environment to create an introduction segment for the interview video.
Solution
Three Point Lighting: Implementing a standard three-point lighting configuration, comprising a key light, fill light, and back light, added dimensionality to the scene. This increased visibility, creating depth for both the subject and the surrounding environment.
Camera Placement: Positioning one camera over the interviewer's shoulder and the other focused on the subject allowed for dynamic coverage and engagement. This enabled seamless switching between angles and concealing cuts during editing to maintain continuity.
Introduction Segment: Utilizing transitions and effects between shots enhanced visual interest and captivated the audience's attention, setting the tone for the interview while providing a preview of the interview space.
Editing Techniques: Seamless transitions between questions and shots maintained viewer engagement, contributing to a polished video.
