How to shoot a video interview

I teach video in four steps in my online media class, which equals to 8 hours of class time. I am a former broadcast instructor who has spent many years teaching video to people of all backgrounds. I find that this approach works best for me. I hope that it helps you teach or learn video basics.

1. Online video trends

2. How to shoot an interview – they must practice shooting following the interview. I provide an in-class assignment on my lecture slides.

3. How to shoot broll or cover video – they must shoot a sequence and a action shot following lecture.

4. How to edit and prepare video for the web – they edit the video they shot over the past few days.

I have shared my lecture on online video trends on my blog. Today, I will share my lecture on how to shoot an interview. The following days I will share with you my b-roll shooting and editing lectures.
