How to Film Interviews "Talking Head" Style Videos

Filming interviews is an essential element in video production. The better your interviews are, the better your productions will be. I share my tips and techniques on how to shoot an interview video in two scenarios. The first being the "talking head" sit down interview, where you can perfect the shot, lighting, audio etc. The second being a "stand up" run n' gun interview, where your needs are to be mobile to grab a quick interview that will cut well in the edit.
