What if your story doesn’t involve a lot actions? doesn’t have a climax? happens in a 500 square feet indoor place? has no excitement?

How would you characterize a good video news story? Why did I pick that story? Textbook (p.229, 237) Class discussion

Pre-interview techniques Do research and write down all your questions. Put your camera away for a while before shooting. Pick a relatively quite place and notice the background. “Chitchat” briefly with your subject. – Make both comfortable and closer – Notice anything that can turn into interview questions.

Pre-interview techniques (II) Inform the subject of the kinds of questions – Don’t give the whole list of questions; you will need fresh nuances. – Give the subject something to think about while you set up your camera. Test a short clip before the interview (check lighting, composition, sound, etc.)

Video interview techniques Get name/spelling/title first Ask questions that elicit complete statements – You need them! – Avoid short-answer question, i.e. “How many… How long… What kind…” – Complete answer questions, i.e. “Tell me about…Take me through…Can you explain…” Use compound questions, i.e. where were you when the tornado came through and what happened? Ask follow-up questions for in-depth info.

Dumb Dog: Quiet Way of Asking Questions

Video interview techniques (II) KEEP QUIET while your subject is speaking. – Absolutely NO voice confirmation – Nodding will suffice Subject finishing talking  5 seconds quiet  Next question General (abstract) to specific (emotional, touchy, or personal) questions. “Anything else?”
