Instructor: Doug Jensen
Interviews are the foundation of video and television production, and are essential to almost every type of program. Regardless of your budget, what type of camera you use, what kind of video you’re shooting, or how much time you have to set up, there’s really no reason for not consistently shooting great looking interviews. But shooting great-looking interviews is NOT just about lighting. Lighting is only one piece of the puzzle. This 90-minute instructional video has been produced by well-known instructor, Doug Jensen, to teach anyone how to use camera placement, lighting, composition, depth-of-field, exposure, and white balance to create great-looking interviews. This tutorial will show you what you need, what you do NOT need, and how to bring all the elements of shooting interviews together to achieve excellent results.
