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.

![Page 21: Video Storytelling Principles and Techniques. Identify and time in terms of: Exposition Rising action Climax Resolution.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ed15503460f94bdf511/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
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?”
