A blog devoted to digital audio workstation enthusiasts features a tutorial on how to edit a video. In this case a person who conducted an interview gave some tips on how to edit the video to make it more interesting. One way is to have the camera focus on the individual speaking. Another is to change angles every thirty seconds or so. A third method is to cut away to a different image (album, for example) in order to break up the monotony.
Key Takeaways:
- When videotaping an interview, it’s a good rule of thumb to have a close angle for the interviewee, when answering.
- By the same token, it’s also a good idea to have a wide angle for when the interviewer is asking questions.
- Using video processor preset and bypass automation, it is possible to edit an interview, by following dialogue cues, and also fake more than one angle.
