What are your interview tips?
Telling my subjects to talk as if they are writing a novel - making statements rather than answering questions. I always ask them to “describe” the topics, such as “describe your perception of this event.”
Keep your camera rolling before and after the actual interview. There's a chance they may say something before or after your formal conversation that might be worth adding.
Let people talk and don't interrupt them, even when you feel like they're done. Wait until they really look to you for questions, and even then, take 5 seconds before you start asking again.
Let the conversation flow - don't move on to the next question right after the person in front of you answers the last question. Those short, silent gaps between the questions are very important, they create a place where something that wasn't said before can be said.
@@JimmyXie yes! i always ask my people to "describe what it was like in that moment? what was going through your head"
i love your interview setups
Thanks brother 🙏🏻 I could have used you on my last doc 😬😬
Hooked on your channel these days Danny
Danny!!!! I literally binge watched all of your videos -- such good work, man!
That upstage lighting though 🙌🏻
The way you shoot the interviews in hanheld mode is amazing. So dramatic. It makes you feel inside of the story.
thanks man!! it;s my signature :)
Couldn’t agree more!
@@markbone ..but how do you do that awesome camerawork, at those crazy angles, while looking them in the eye?
@@stiknpoke he doesn't, i think. when he is filming handheld, someone else is interviewing the subject. You can see that at some point in the video.
The 'pregnant pause' is my tip! Use it often, with genuine integrity and interest for the person being interviewed. I'm pretty sure I learnt that from you Mark. It has allowed my subjects to open up and open up some more and then to open up even more!
Excellent, Mark. Really appreciate your YT channel.
Even without an outro, still a spot-on message. Thank you for taking the time to do that!!
Haha!
Hands down the BEST INTERVIEW tips video you can find Mark, the vast majority of other videos mostly talk about the lighting or the camera etc but no one is teaching the "under the hood" aspects of interviews. Awesome awesome video man!
Listening to this before filming an interview. Thanks! helps so much and definitely shows in your work! Beauty in the Battle has got to be a spilling moment
Yes! This is wonderfully said. I'll be shooting a couple story films in the next month so this was a pleasant reminder! Sometimes hitting record and then sitting down to have small talk before the official questions helps the whole setup feel a little more relaxed.
“You better be giving them some darn eye contact” super good advice.
it's been only 3 days I`m watching your videos, and I already learned a lot! I`m taking notes of everything and can't wait to go put it on practice. Learning from you is the same feelling when we buy a new gear, we get so excited and just want to go shoot.
Did a lot of Radio Interviews for about 13 years and Video Interviews later for another 5 years. Only can sign every word you said. Especially the part about eye contact and not reading questions. Great video, love it
One of the most beneficial videos for documentary filmmakers.
These are great insights. One trick I have learned is taking my questions and starting each one with "tell me about" and it gets their brains to naturally tell a story. Remove the question mark from the questions. This helps it feel like a conversation as you so beautifully spoke about.
dude you're so good it huts! Literally every single shot is movie grade epic. well done. So good to see real pro's getting the air time they deserve!
That short moment at the 📸 gave me the most insight on how you craft your own vlogs. love seeing those moments. fantastic tips and great peek into how you operate behind the lens
Your lighting is incredible. Very impressed with your/your gaffer’s skills. Thanks for this video. Watching it for lighting inspiration. Great info.
im doing my first ever interview soon and this lifted so much preasure off my shoulders. thank you.
📷 glad to be part of the art of documentary!
yess!! so glad to have you on board!
Love this kind of video!!! So much straight forward information... Thank you! Mark
I love all of your points. I've found it helpful to emphasize the conversational aspect. Like you said, when they can focus more on just having a conversation and less about the "filming production" you get some much more out of the interviewer and the interview as a whole!
Excellent video, thanks! Pre interviews are super helpful, but it can be a fine line with how deep you go for sure.
Fantastic tips here, some we already use, the rest we will definitely now do from now on! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! thanks man
Hi Mark. Thank you for making these tips.
I've done lots of interviews, and was shopping for gear (sliders and lamps), when I saw this. I was kind of expecting to hear about gear, and your advice totally reminded me to keep focus on my style.
cheers
These tips are beyond helpful. Thank you Mark!
Wonderful video, thank you. Especially the part about making it a real conversation is something I feel as well with every single interview.
This was soo useful!! Thank you Mark.
I've got my first solo interview coming up (luckily, just a passion project w a friend) and will definitely be using these tips.
I made it to the end. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I hope I can apply this to a new project I’m starting. Wish me luck 😊
I love the vibes of your videos, you have been a great instructor for me starting my film journey. 🙌 Thxs so much! 📷
That outro was the outro! Enjoyed this! Been focusing on interviewing at least 1 person a month during 2021 to improve my skills. My additional tip is to ask why at least 2-3 times. It helps get past what the person thinks they should say to what they are feeling on a deeper level and that’s where the magic happens. 👍🏽
made it to the end. loved it.
This is really great advice man!
I've just recently discovered your channel, but you can be sure I always make it to the end of your videos. Thanks.
Love the song in the back, and once again man, the value you bring in your videos is phenomenal! 💯✔️🔥
i'm very picky about the music!
Made it to the end. Loved it! Wish you made the list available somewhere for us to carry with us on set.
Priceless tips. Thanks!
Just watching Matty’s video! So stoked to see ur at 100k - congrats m8!
Made it to the end! This was extremely helpful, thanks Mark!
Watching this makes me think the Documentary course I did in film school worth with its weight in Gold. It almost makes me wonder if you were in my classes hahahaha, or on the board for writing the curriculum. They taught us the same way you are teaching us right now. Your stuff is quality definitely high, and all of this combined gives me those ah ha! moments. Great work every time, I really appreciate all of this work put in over the years Mark! Blessings!
So thankful that you made this video. Super helpful tips !
I know it's been a while since you posted this, but I will vouch for every one of these tips. I've posted before about my prior career in journalism, and the mentors I had taught me all of this. Lots of on-the-job training and practice was also involved. Learn a little bit about a lot of things so you can practice being a conversationalist.
My tip for those that might still be finding this video: stay as quiet as possible. Instead of verbal acknowledgement, just nod your head.
Bonus tip: when you've run out of questions, ask "Is there anything I haven't asked you about that you wanted to share?"
Just found your channel, and happy I did! Sometimes bc of time constraints, I fall into the first trap. Good to relearn this advice.
This is one of those skills that i think is so important for young filmmakers like myself. Thank you for teaching on this and not just how to film cool broll!
Thanks for always keep me reminded on the inportant tips!
💯
I did make it to the end and the outro was great was great even if you forgot to make one :)
Thank you for sharing this with us!

Some really useful advice - thank you for sharing! I'll be sure to consider all these suggestions for my next interview.
Great Tips, thanks for sharing!
Made it to the end! Thanks for great tips!
Thanks for watching man!!
Great valid points...its almost an art form in itself being able to ask questions and get sometimes a total stranger to open up especially on camera !
Thank you Richard 🙏🏻
Hi I’m a freelance filmmaker and I have worked in at PBS I really enjoyed your work and ways your teach filmmaking
This is the third time I'm watching this since it was first published and I still find pearls. I can't wait for the AOD course to start already
Yeaasss!! Cannot wait to have you a part of the course!!
Amazing tips, coming across this page was a blessing
Right to end... of course!! Thanks mate, great tips as always 🤙🏻

Had to watch that twice. Thanks Mark
Hahahaha love the ending. Loved the whole video too!! Thanks man!
I always come here to get inspired. Love your work! Greetings from Brazil.
🙏🏻🇧🇷
📸 thanks for sharing these tips! I have my first interview set up to shoot this weekend, and I feel like this really helped me to learn some things the easy way👊
📷 Made it to the end! Thanks, Mark. I have some interviews coming up and your tips were all super helpful.
New to your channel, Mark. Great information about interviews. So inspiring!
Mark! GREAT! Yeah!
Wow it is so good, I love your points. My team will start an interview channel next year, thank you for your video.
really good information...succinct, well presented and all are valuable points...also love the look of your work
Thanks for the great tips. You care genuinely about what you do and it shows. I hope that it will show for me as well. Much Love!
thank you! this is such a kind comment :)
Man, such good advice, thank you!!
That moment when you feel like it's a solid outro, and the thought feels complete. I think it worked in the end! This was definitely helpful info.
Thanks man. I think it’s my new outro
Success is built on fundamentals.
Right on point Mark, superb 👌🏻
Danny you are the Man !! The best one I have ever seen. Such a detailed and apt description about how to shoot a great conversation which turns to be a great interview with a human touch. Thanks bro
Mark here 👋
@@markbone Sorry, Marked your words Mark!!
Very good points!! Thanks 🙏
I like this video.
I am going to do a couple of interviews. Your video is very useful.
Very useful video, thanks Mark
That outro is dope !
Congrats on 100k!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for sharing this video
Always decluttering everything I know about Interview and always come to your video for refilling!! Super awesome!!
So glad!
This is exactly what I wanted thanks
Thank you Mark. Very good infos and a superb video. Another good tip might be to film them in a surrounding that brings emotion from itself. Something they can relate to. So at best, film them at their place not yours.
Great video, definitely made me give more thought to the interview
Thank you.
Wow! Amazing!!!!
Who cares about an outro when you've been dropping pure gems for 8 minutes!! This video is a crash course, I'm going to be projecting it to my film students.
I literally had to coach my interviewer these very EXACT tips last year when she was "interviewing" our subject. She had the right idea, but she thought she was Oprah Winfrey on Oprah. Had to remind her - "You and your voice won't be on camera." Threw off her game big time and well... She went off on a tangent with the interview 😭
What surprises me is how this was not common sense. But, I shouldn't be judgemental
so true. got to be careful your interviewer doesn't get lost in themselves.
I've watched this video so many times in preparation for my mini doc coming up tomorrow. Really helpful!
Yes!!! Go crush it! You’re gonna do well 🙏🏻
@@markbone Shoot done, now off to the edit! Thanks Mark seriously love your stuff. Much love
I laughed at the story blocks read when you mentioned elevating your videos ( name of the gym) I love the pre interview idea !
Awesome video!
Super helpful - thank you! I made it to the end lol
Thank you!!
