Overview
Interviews are the foundation of video and television production, and are essential to almost every type of program. For today’s high definition productions, the quality of interview lighting and the overall “look” of the setup is more critical than ever. 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 excuse for not consistently shooting great looking interviews.
Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of shooting interviews, those skills can be carried over into any production environment, because the basic principles of good lighting are universal. But shooting great-looking interviews is not only about lighting — lighting is just 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 with today’s state-of-the-art LED lighting instruments. Lighting interviews with 100% LED lighting is not only possible, it is rapidly becoming the preferred for choice for most high-end productions.
This video 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. Once you’ve made the switch to LEDs, it will be impossible to imagine ever using tungsten lights for interviews again.
This online workshops consists of 90-minutes of instructional content, which you can watch as much as you want for one month.
