Video Interviews

Interview shoots are very unforgiving. You must get everything right first time and make the job flow smoothly and comfortably for everyone involved. Interviews will quickly fall apart if things start going wrong or taking a long time.

Preparing for an interview involves:• Choosing a location• Preparing equipment • Traveling to the location and setting up • Final briefing and technical checks • Before you begin shooting, double check everything. If

you're not 100% sure that it is all working okay, stop and get it right.
