Type of Interviews & Preparation Type of interviews & Preparation 4th lesson Prepared or unprepared How to prepare for a spontaneous interview Setting up for a prepared interview Who’s asking: Who What Why Lighting Types of Interviews Preparation Prepared or Unprepared? Certain types of interviews depend on complete spontaneity - a reporter with a microphone doing "man-on-the-street" interviews where they stop passers-by and ask for an instant response to a question. This works well for getting a quick sample from somewhat random people, but it doesn't work at all for some things. Compare this to and interview between a presidential candidate and a major news anchor. For weeks before the interview, the candidate and his advisors will carefully prepare responses to every question they think it's conceivable the interviewer would ask, and the interviewer will also spend a large amount of time researching current topics to the most relevant questions they can. Both the interviewer and the subject are prepared and usually have a general idea of how the interview will progress. We also expect that this interview will have perfect lighting and perfect audio in a studio, office or well-planned location with the perfect background. When doing a prepared interview there's always more time available for you to set up equipment because you know several critical things - namely the where and the when. When chasing a disgraced CEO up the steps of the court house shouting "How much money do you have in your offshore accounts?" there isn't the time nor the facility to set up lights, to pre-focus and to attach a lav mic to the subject. You maybe put a light on your camera, make sure your batteries are charged, and go for it. How to Prepare for a Spontaneous Interview If your assignment is to try to catch a celebrity and get an unscheduled interview, (this is often called an "ambush interview" even when you're a wedding videographer getting reaction from people at the reception), there are some things you can do to increase your chances of getting usable footage. Research: Find out the where and when as far in advance as possible. Do you know that your subject is scheduled to make a court appearance? Will they be walking down a red carpet? Arriving on an airplane? Getting out of a limo? Arrive early and survey the area - are there things to watch out for? Noise in the background? Alternate entrances your subject may use? Are there people there who may know more about the scene? Other videographers? People who live nearby? Be Polite, be firm: Very often "no" means that you just haven't asked the right person. Bob Woodward, one of the journalists who broke the Watergate scandal said years later that the phrase that worked best in getting people to talk was "I need your help.” Be Prepared: It would be great if you get to ask ten questions, but plan for only getting one, try to make it one that hasn't already been answered. "Do you like your new movie?" is a question actors are asked and answer all the time. "How does this movie compare with your favourite childhood films?" is more unique. Someone on trial for bank robbery probably isn't going to blurt out a confession on the courtroom steps because you shout out "did you rob the bank?" but they may have something to say to a more practical question relating to their experiences with the trial. Setting up for a Prepared Interview Depending on what you want your final product to look like, there are a number of different things to take into consideration when setting up your lights and camera. Will the interviewer be in the shot? Will the interviewer be audible to the audience? Will it be shot with multiple cameras? Will the subjects be seated, or moving? Will you be able to stop during the interview, move cameras, or re-ask questions? Who's Asking Who What Why? Interviews can be held for a number of purposes - some of them might be: 1. To find out information that your subject might not want to divulge, 2. To find stories and anecdotes that will entertain an audience, 3. To create a historical record, 4. To help the interviewee get information across. Interviews are usually considered either "soft" or "hard". A soft interview is one where both the person doing the interview and the person answering the questions have similar goals, which may be to promote a book, introduce a person to an audience, or honour a bride and groom. "Hard" interviews are ones where the interviewer's goal is finding out something, usually news, and the subject may have a different agenda. (such as covering their company's liabilities). This doesn't mean that a "hard news" interview is an unfriendly interview, but it may ask tough questions. The subject and the interviewer may decide beforehand the scope of the questioning ("Senator Smith will do the interview, provided no questions are asked about the incident in the cake factory.") Interviews can be set up in a number of ways: 1. Both interviewer and subject visible in camera shot, 2. Interviewer not visible, but heard, 3. Interviewer not visible and not heard, 4. Interviewer and subject in different locations entirely ("remote"), 5. Live or edited? Having both the subject and the host in the shot doesn't have to be "talk show" style, it can be two people walking down a road, or sitting on a bench. This style of interview is often used when the host is part of the interview's selling point because of their position or reputation. (Think Oprah.) The host can also be off camera with a steady shot of the subject. You can cover this with one camera by shooting "reaction" shots afterwards. When the interview is over, turn the camera on the host and have her nod, frown, listen patiently, and then repeat one or two questions, this will give you some cutaways and keep your interview from being a single, static shot. It also gives you the option of cutting out some portion of the interview during a long reply. Sometimes also, common in documentaries, the person asking the questions is neither seen nor heard - this requires the collusion of the subject along with open ended questions such as "Tell us about the early days of the band" which will give the subject room to talk at length. In the editing room, these longer answers can be woven into a narrative of the subject's own words. "Remote" interviews are typically done by TV stations with the use of satellites bouncing audio and video between locations but there's no reason you can't do a remote interview on the cheap with the aid of an accomplice with a telephone and a video recorder. Your subject can even wear an "in the ear" type of telephone receiver to avoid having someone relay the questions. Need to interview a baker in Sausalido for your documentary but don't have any friends there? Try online resources like craigslist.org to locate a camera operator. Some interviews have to be done live, you don't have a choice. But others can be edited - this gives you the opportunity to stop, go back, and re-ask or re-answer a question. You can tell your subject "if you get off track on an answer, you can just stop, pause to give us some space in the editing room, and start over." Be Prepared (like a Boy Scout) Regardless of the type of interview you've chosen to do, some things remain the same: 1. Do your research. Start with the subject. Authors, actors, and business people often have prepared biographical information that you can start with. Don't read from it, but use it as a jumping off point. 2. Keep your subjects calm and happy. Meet with them before the interview, explain what's going to happen, where they'll sit, who the other people on the set are. Put them at ease. 3. Start out with easy questions. These are often called "low balls", questions that are easy for your subject to answer well and will get them into the swing of the things. 4. Avoid questions that can be answered "yes" or "no". Instead of asking "Is it hot in Florida in July" ask "Compare the summers in Florida to the summers in Maine, where you grew up." This invites your subject to tell parts of their story that you might not know about and opens up a conversation, providing more avenues to explore. Lighting "Three point lighting" or some variation of it is very common for interviews. Advantages of artificial lighting are that it can be recreated in different locations and isn't dependent on the weather. Natural lighting is often nice and can add a softer touch - placing your subject by a large window or in a shaded area outside. You can use a single reflector to throw a little extra light onto your subject. Watch out for hot-spots (over exposed areas) in the background and don't be afraid to set your exposure manually. Sometimes you have no choice but to use whatever horrible light is existing. Remember to set your white balance and look for features in the room such as reflective walls that may lessen the worst parts of the existing light. Sometimes and on-camera light can be used just as a fill in conjunction with existing over-head lighting.

  • The General Idea Behind Editing in Narrative Film Is the Coordination of One Shot with Another in Order to Create a Coherent, Artistically Pleasing, Meaningful Whole
    Chapter 4: Editing Film 125: The Textbook © Lynne Lerych The general idea behind editing in narrative film is the coordination of one shot with another in order to create a coherent, artistically pleasing, meaningful whole. The system of editing employed in narrative film is called continuity editing – its purpose is to create and provide efficient, functional transitions. Sounds simple enough, right?1 Yeah, no. It’s not really that simple. These three desired qualities of narrative film editing – coherence, artistry, and meaning – are not easy to achieve, especially when you consider what the film editor begins with. The typical shooting phase of a typical two-hour narrative feature film lasts about eight weeks. During that time, the cinematography team may record anywhere from 20 or 30 hours of film on the relatively low end – up to the 240 hours of film that James Cameron and his cinematographer, Russell Carpenter, shot for Titanic – which eventually weighed in at 3 hours and 14 minutes by the time it reached theatres. Most filmmakers will shoot somewhere in between these extremes. No matter how you look at it, though, the editor knows from the outset that in all likelihood less than ten percent of the film shot will make its way into the final product. As if the sheer weight of the available footage weren’t enough, there is the reality that most scenes in feature films are shot out of sequence – in other words, they are typically shot in neither the chronological order of the story nor the temporal order of the film.

  • Wide Shot (Or Establishing Shot) Medium Shot Close-Up Extreme
    Definitions: Wide Shot (or Establishing Shot) Medium Shot Close-up Extreme Close-up Pan –Right or left movement of the camera Tilt –Up or down movement of the camera Zoom –Change in focal length (magnification) of the lens V/O –Voice-over, narration not synchronized with video SOT –Sound on Tape, Interview audio synchronized with video B-Roll -Refers to the earlier days of film when you had two rolls of film – A and B – and you had to edit them together. A-roll is the main subject of your shot, with audio such as an interview with someone or SOT (Sound on Tape synchronized with the video). B-roll is the background video for your film, often just video over which you’ll lay an audio track (such as the person talking in the A-roll). Nat Sound (Wild Sound) –Natural sound recorded with B-Roll This is video that has some natural background noise – traffic on a street, birds chirping in a park, etc. This audio can add depth and impact to a two-dimensional video tape. 2-Shot –Shot of the interview subject and the person asking the questions Reverse Angle –Straight-on shot of the person asking the questions Use a Tripod Use a tripod to get a steady shot, particularly if you’re shooting something that is not moving or a formal interview. Shaky video, especially in close-ups, can cause the viewer to become dizzy, even nauseous. If you don’t have a tripod or you’re doing a shot where you’ll have to move quickly, then find something to steady your camera – i.e.

  • Cinematography
    CINEMATOGRAPHY ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS • The filmmaker controls the cinematographic qualities of the shot – not only what is filmed but also how it is filmed • Cinematographic qualities involve three factors: 1. the photographic aspects of the shot 2. the framing of the shot 3. the duration of the shot In other words, cinematography is affected by choices in: 1. Photographic aspects of the shot 2. Framing 3. Duration of the shot 1. Photographic image • The study of the photographic image includes: A. Range of tonalities B. Speed of motion C. Perspective 1.A: Tonalities of the photographic image The range of tonalities include: I. Contrast – black & white; color It can be controlled with lighting, filters, film stock, laboratory processing, postproduction II. Exposure – how much light passes through the camera lens Image too dark, underexposed; or too bright, overexposed Exposure can be controlled with filters 1.A. Tonality - cont Tonality can be changed after filming: Tinting – dipping developed film in dye Dark areas remain black & gray; light areas pick up color Toning - dipping during developing of positive print Dark areas colored light area; white/faintly colored 1.A. Tonality - cont • Photochemically – based filmmaking can have the tonality fixed. Done by color timer or grader in the laboratory • Digital grading used today.

A simple, silent (no dialogue) scene where somebody walks into the shot, does something and then leaves is perfect. Once you’ve shot your first film, watch it. What do you like/dislike about it? Save this first attempt. We’ll be asking you to return to it later. (If you have already done this and saved your films, you don’t need to do this again.) Professional filmmakers divide scenes into shots. They set up their camera and frame the first shot, film the action and then stop recording. This process is repeated for each new shot until the scene is completed. The clips are then put together in the edit to make one continuous scene. Whatever equipment you work with, if you use professional techniques, you can produce quality films that look cinematic. The table below gives a description of the main shots, angles and movements used by professional filmmakers. An explanation of the effects they create and the information they can give the audience is also included.

  • Depth of Field in Photography
    Instructor: N. David King Page 1 DEPTH OF FIELD IN PHOTOGRAPHY Handout for Photography Students N. David King, Instructor WWWHAT IS DDDEPTH OF FFFIELD ??? Photographers generally have to deal with one of two main optical issues for any given photograph: Motion (relative to the film plane) and Depth of Field. This handout is about Depth of Field. But what is it? Depth of Field is a major compositional tool used by photographers to direct attention to specific areas of a print or, at the other extreme, to allow the viewer’s eye to travel in focus over the entire print’s surface, as it appears to do in reality. Here are two example images. Depth of Field Examples Shallow Depth of Field Deep Depth of Field using wide aperture using small aperture and close focal distance and greater focal distance Depth of Field in PhotogPhotography:raphy: Student Handout © N.

The second image (on the right) was shot with a smaller aperture and is focused on a yellow flower near the rear of that group of flowers. Though it looks as if we are really increasing the area that is in focus from the first image to the second, that apparent increase is actually an optical illusion. In the second image there is still only one plane where the lens is critically focused.

The Video Rewrite uses existing footage to create automatically new results are similar to labor-intensive special effects in Forest video of a person mouthing words that she did not speak in the Gump. These effects are successful because they start from actual original footage. This technique is useful in movie dubbing, for film footage and modify it to match the new speech.

  • Using Variable Frame Rates on the AU-EVA1 (Excerpted from “A Guide to the Panasonic AU-EVA1 Camera”)
    Using Variable Frame Rates On The AU-EVA1 (excerpted from “A Guide To The Panasonic AU-EVA1 Camera”) The AU-EVA1 allows variable-frame-rate shooting in a wide selection of frame rates and frame sizes. The variable frame rates provide you with a variety of creative choices. To start with understanding why variable frame rates even matter, let’s reference back to how movie film gets shot. In film, slow motion is shot by running the camera at a faster frame rate. Film normally runs at 24 frames per second (fps), but for slow motion the camera operator might shoot it at something like 48 fps. When those 48 frames are played back at the 24 fps speed, it’ll take twice as long to play back, so everything will be moving at half speed, giving that superb film-style slow-motion look. Shooting at a faster frame rate is called “overcranking,” because in the early days cinematographers used a hand-crank to drive the camera, and for slow-mo they would actually crank the film faster. Similarly, shooting at a slower-than-normal frame rate results in a “fast motion” effect – think of the Keystone Kops or an old Charlie Chaplin movie and you’ll get the idea. If you only shoot 12 frames in a second, but you play those frames back at the 24fps speed, it’ll only take 1/2 second to play back action that took a full second to record – accordingly, the motion will be twice as fast as normal. This is referred to as “undercranking.” Using actual overcranking and undercranking can yield dramatically smoother, superior off-speed effects in your productions.
