Re: Developing Training Modules for Teachers.
ebarker,
1) Videographer as a mentor.
2) Master the skill of pan and zoom.
3) Always use a tripod.
4) Use a mic (either overhead boom, under scene boom or handheld, or lapel)
5) Rule of thirds : 1/3 inside frame left or right, and about 1/3 from the top.
6) Subject is 1/3 frame from left side: look straight at interviewer off to the right side of the camera.
7) Brief the subject to talk to the interviewer, not the camera.
8) Count off the seconds that a particular frame is on screen.
9) Drop visuals to give the viewer different perspectives.
10) interviewing more than one person: other panelists are non-distracting.
Here is a summary of your top 10 tips, I plan to start a new thread in regards a module for "Videography" or maybe a broader topic such as "Building Team Awareness".
I just attended a celebration event in St. Louis yesterday, PBS talked about their documentary and their plans for the documentary....I plan to post that info on the Videography Module thread.
In the meantime I am working on the second video. I will post it when finished. I tried to concentrate on tip 6 --- we will what it comes out. Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Marcos.
