My first interview video

My first video Interview

This was shot in the kitchen of my place, this video was shot in the evening, I went for a kitchen environment so that you didn't have to look at your every day sit down interview which may not of worked out as well as I thought it would, as you can see I didn't quite have enough light in the kitchen, and the background appears far too dark.


The reason I shot in the kitchen was to give my interview a more personal look in to my interviewee, as he is a very uplifted and relatable person, who is full of life, and I wanted that to show.
This was video was shot on a tripod, and I had to adjust the setting, letting in a lot of light just so you could actually see the kitchen So I did have a high ISO,  I did forget to record my settings. Although will do in my next video. I did set up the camera DSL60D to have a shallow depth of field so you can focus on the interviewee, and not the background.
Because it was my first interview video, I wanted to leave all my mistakes in, so I could see where I need to improve.


As you can see a lot of improvements are needed.
My video work was far to dark, and my audio taught me never record while there is background noise thats going to drown out my interviewees voice.
I needed a lot more footage than what I actually had, and should of recorded his voice separately.

I remixed the music audio into the interview only where I thought it was needed and have since learnt how to adjust the volume levels.


As you can see I had a lot of trouble matching up the video with audio, and left it how it was just so you could see where I went wrong.
Room for improvement from the lighting to the sizzling of the pan to the audio matching video work.
