Interviewing each other
Today, take some time to interview each other the questions you have on your storyboard sheet!
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Creating a News Segment
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning how to create a news segment offers a comprehensive, real-world application of your skills and a foundation in journalistic storytelling. This type of project integrates technical mastery with key creative and professional skills, preparing them for a variety of careers in the video production field.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today you will learn about building news segments in videography, edit and then shoot them yourselves!
IN THIS CLASS YOU WILL CONTINUALLY BE PUTTING TOGETHER NEWS SEGMENTS

Today, we will practice interviewing in class!
Know Your Subject
Capture THEIR voice
Be Prepared
Show Respect
Craft your Questions
Be conversational, NOT confrontational
Don't Just Hear, LISTEN
Don't take things out of context
Bone up on who you are interviewing and the topic at hand. If you’re speaking to the head of the debate team, for example, study up on some of their most current issues. That way you’ll be able to bring up key talking points.
Don’t come to an interview with a few questions scribbled down on a piece of paper. You are a professional reflection of the yearbook. Take time to type up a complete list of questions. You don’t have to ask every one, but they are there if you need them.
It’s important to ask open-ended questions – who, what, where, when, how. The more developed your questions are, the more willing your subject will be to elaborate and be comfortable overall.
Stay away from “yes” or “no” questions, and don’t get too complicated with the dreaded double-barreled questions.
Interviewees want to know that the interviewer actually cares about what they are saying. Don’t do the active listening thing –“mmhm, ok.” Make eye contact, nod, but don’t speak out of turn. Wait until the person has finished what they are saying, and wait a few seconds to take it all in before moving on to the next topic.
Just like you want your voice to be heard in your writing, a good subject wants their voice to be heard in the interview. Understand your subject’s voice and what they want to say. That way, when you take a quote for the yearbook, it will be a good reflection of that person.
Even if you think it’s a bore to hear about the fancy moves the chess club captain pulled out at their latest match, it’s important to never let them see that. You get what you give, so if you want respect for what you do, give the subject that same respect.
You are not there to intimidate or make the interviewee look dumb. Create a level of comfort between you and the subject – ask some ice-breaker questions before the full interview gets underway.
The interviewee did you a favor with their willingness to participate in the yearbook. Don’t take anything they say out of context that may make them look bad – it’s dishonest.
You should be answering the 5 W's!
Who:
Who is involved in the video? This could refer to the people in front of the camera, the target audience, or the creators themselves.
What:
What is the video about? What message or story is being conveyed, and what is the primary action or event taking place?
When:
When is the video set or when will it be released? This question helps to define the timeline and context of the content.
Where:
Where is the video taking place? Understanding the location can add context and atmosphere to the content.
Why:
Why is the video being made? What is its purpose or motivation? This question helps to define the overall goal and impact of the video.
Don’t forget to set your basic camera settings before the interview begins.
Shutter speed
Iris (Aperture)
Gain (ISO)
White Balance (WB)
Audio
To get good audio you need to carefully LOOK and LISTEN. Look at your viewfinder to make sure your levels aren’t peaking.
Listen with headphones to check for distortion.
You may want to consider the use of an auxiliary microphone rather than the mounted shotgun microphone on the camera.
Some of your options are a hand-held microphone for getting “man on the street” audio, or a lavalier (lav Mic) for in-depth, high quality audio.
