Video examples
Level 1: Video interviews only Level 2: Video interviews + supplemental
footage Level 3: Video storytelling
Things to think about
Avoid "shaky cam" The best video journalists use a tripod
whenever they can If you can't use a tripod, steady the camera
against a wall Sit on the floor and use your arms and knees
as a makeshift tripod

More things to think about
Zooms
Don't do it just because you can Spielberg and Hitchcock both made films without
zooming one single time Zoom off camera, not on, or... Zoom with your feet! NEVER use digital zoom

Shot terminology
PANS and TILTS A "pan" is moving the lens side to side A "tilt" is moving the lens up or down Move slowly, even more slowly than your
instincts tell you to move Know where you're going before you start

Composition
Remember the "rule of thirds"

Headroom
Give `em some space -- in the right place
Make sure people's heads are not cut off But don't make shots too loose either When you must cut a body, cut it in logical places,
such as joints ? the knees, not the ankles Apply the rule of thirds ? one third of the frame
above the eyes, one third below the neck

Backgrounds
Force yourself to look at the background of your shot
Avoid unintentional motion or distraction No trees or posts coming out of your subject's head
