WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Person on The Street
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning person-on-the-street (POS) interviews is crucial for videography students because it develops essential skills in interacting with diverse people, capturing authentic reactions, gauging public opinion, building rapport quickly, and creating engaging, human-focused content for news, events, and documentaries, all while mastering portable gear and handling unscripted situations. These skills teach adaptability and storytelling beyond formal settings, making students versatile and capable of finding genuine narratives in real-world environments.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing videos!

Don't ambush; walk alongside, introduce yourself clearly (name/outlet), and ask if they have a moment for a quick question for your segment.

Get verbal consent to film/record; always respect a "no".
BUILD RAPPORT:
Be friendly, smile, and make them comfortable; maybe start without the camera first.

Keep it Brief:
Aim for short, impactful soundbites (30-60 seconds).
Diversity:
Talk to different people (ages, backgrounds) to get varied perspectives.
REVIEW:
Watch for the best, most authentic responses. You don't have to use everyone!
EDIT:
Cut out fluff; aim for short, punchy videos (under a minute often).

Add captions, emojis, and relevant hashtags for social media.
You need to discuss and agree
AS A TEAM who and what
