Editor's Notes
- - The manner in which you shoot video is generally the same, regardless of the equipment you have available.
- Discuss different kinds of tripods. Situations when you would not use a tripod: When you’re covering a “breaking news” story and using a tripod would prohibit you from getting the story/video. (9/11, Neda Video, Virgina Tech, etc.) If you do not use a tripod, your viewer will be more distracted by the shakiness of your video and will not pay as much attention to your story.
- Demonstrate Setting up an Interview Inferior: If the camera is higher than the subject, the subject must look up and appears to be inferior to the viewers. Superior: If the camera is lower than the subject, the person that you are interviewing must look down and is given unwarranted authority.
- - Viewer should feel like they’re listening into a conversation, rather than being lectured.
- * Also avoid shooting things straight up. For example, shoot a sign at an angel so it does not look so flat.
- It’s always better to get closer to an object than to zoom, because the more you zoom, the shakier your video becomes -- especially when you’re using a handheld or point & shoot camera.
