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!

Equipment: Camera, good microphone (lavalier or shotgun), maybe a tripod, and release forms.

BUILD RAPPORT:
Be friendly, smile, and make them comfortable; maybe start without the camera first.

Diversity:
Talk to different people (ages, backgrounds) to get varied perspectives.
