Research

I have an important interview tomorrow so I re-read the chapter in my book "Video Nation" about interviews... Here are the most important things I picked up

-Dead on camera angles are too intense for some viewers
-Avoid an embarrassing shot, for example of a toilet
-Keep things moving
           -it is important to keep the topics fresh so that the interviewee doesn't get bored.
-Stay on topic
           -even if the persons life story is interesting try to stay on topic and get the job done
-Wrap it up
           -More is not always better, get what you need and get out
           -If you don't wrap it up you will be wasting both the peoples time

Also I got information from this video on Youtube...


-Prepare for the interview
-Ask open ended Questions
-Use the technique of repeating their last couple words to get them to expand

I'm nervous for my interview! This is pushing my comfort zone, but I CAN DO IT! Woot!
