How to Film an Interview (Course)
Regardless of whether you’re filming for a YouTube video, TV show or a corporate video, being able to capture a great interview can take your video to the next level. It can help you to tell a story and allow the viewer to connect with the person on screen. Interviews are a fundamental part of filmmaking. From documentaries to reality shows, you will find interviews across TV, film, and digital content. But, how do you capture an effective interview that looks great? Well, it all begins with pre-production (planning). Once you have a solid understanding of your character and the desired tone of your video, you can move on to filming the interview. This not only requires a solid understanding of cinematography, it also requires a specific set of skills to help you capture the best answers from your talent. Once you’ve captured this, it’s now onto the editing process. To turn a thirty-minute long interview into a two-minute video is a challenge and can take some time to get used to the process.
However, this course is designed to point you in the right direction and help with each stage of the interview process. So, if you’re filming an interview soon, check out the lessons in this course to help you avoid making the common mistakes that most beginner/intermediate-level video creators and filmmakers can make.
