You don’t need wind protectors, as you’re indoors
You may need more than 1 microphone if people are in different studio positions.

5. Sound check
When setting an interview up have a chat with the subject. During this chat ask them to say yes or no and answer a few questions.
The camera operator / sound operator should check the quality of the sound at this stage – any issues – move (OR turn items off such as computers, fridges or mobile phones if inside) and check again
If you are using multiple mics, ensure their recording levels are similar so it will be easier to edit

6. Studio Lights
NEVER turn our studio lights on by using the switches on the lights! You will remove them from the lighting desk.
You will be shown how to turn them on and off properly

7. Green Screen
Make sure it is as smooth as possible with no creases or shadows on. Light it up so it is as close to one shade of green as possible

8. PRACTICE TASK
As a whole class, you will go to the studio and set up for a multi camera interview. This must include the green screen and multiple cameras and you should use the studio lights

9. Share the footage!
