5 Secrets to shoot a PRO Interview

Jordy Vandeput 32K views

Learn how to shoot better interviews with these 5 filmmaking and cinematography tips. Learn how to set lighting, handle the camera and ask the questions.

Shooting an Interview

Filming an interview seems like an easy to do job. You place the camera on a tripod and ask the interviewee a coupe of questions. Most interviews you see online are shot this way.

But if you want to make a difference or your interview is part of a documentary, we need to start treating our interviews as something unique. Your cinematography is one of those things.

Cinematography

An interview tells a story, so it's important to enhance that story with the cinematography. We can create a warm lighting, lots of contrast or in the opposite a clean white look. Your background and lighting is going to contribute a lot.

In almost every case you want to create more depth. And like explained thoroughly in our lighting course for beginners, this is one of the most important things a cinematographer does.
