Digital Video: Interview Techniques

2012-03-21T09:30:00-07:00

Shooting a video interview is something that anyone can do, but it takes practice to produce a quality product. In this workshop, we will discuss and practice techniques for planning and shooting an effective video interview. At the end of the workshop, participants will know how to set a scene, light their subject, capture clean audio, and add a few finishing touches during the editing process. Basic digital video experience is recommended (see our Introduction to Digital Video workshop), but not required. Open to UCSF faculty, staff, and students.
