5 Tips For An Awesome Interview

1. Plan for the interview: To get a good interview you will want to plan out the questions your going to ask so you get the best answers. When asking questions you always want to start with the easier questions then make the questions harder by the end. The answers are the main part of an interview so you wan to make sure you get the best from your interviewee.

2. Be setup and prepared before the interviewee arrives: For a more efficient and better interview setting up before is the best way to go. Make sure that the camera is setup in a good spot with good lighting hitting the interviewee. Also before make sure your audio is working. You always want to make the interviewee comfortable so put them in a chair and a place that will fit their needs. Don't forget to put the interviewee in the rule of thirds with you diagonal to them so they are looking off to the side of the camera and not directly at it.

3. Location of the interview is very important: Having an interesting interview always starts with the location of the interview. The location should be based on what your interviewing the interviewee for. This spices up the interview when you have an interesting background. You  don't want to put them in front of a curtain or a window unless it goes with the topic of the interview. Like the picture up above we interviewed her because she was in the play and its a dramatic interview so it was appropriate to pout her in front of a curtain. No matter where you decide to do your interview try and make it as interesting as possible.

4. White balance the camera: Before your interviewee arrives at the interview always white balance your camera to get the best the hue. If you forget to white balance your hue could either turnout yellow or blue. To white balance hold up your hand or a white piece of paper in front of the camera then there should be button somewhere on the camera to change the color. It may not work the first time so keep trying to get the color you feel is the best.

5. During the interview stay quiet: As the interviewer you are responsible for making sure everything is perfect and nothing messes up but sometimes the interviewer may not know it but they could be the one to mess it up. During the interview remember to stay quiet the entire time. Don't laugh or comment to what the interviewee says because that could mess up the great answers your trying get. To make a interview efficient and great keep quiet until your completely done recording.
