So:
- Select a suitable location, if possible have the subject face natural light. Avoid too much background noise. Check lighting.
- Set up tripod. Have the phone slightly below eye level. If you have a small tripod, then use books to prop it up.
- Put your phone into flight mode so there isn’t an interruption.
- Clean camera lens.
- Attach microphone; tips on how to attach a microphone.
- Make sure your phone has enough memory space for a video.
- Line up your shot, look for crooked lines, remember the rule of thirds, double-check lighting.
- Set up a second camera for B-Roll; make sure it is a different angle but on the same side/angle as the original. Or you can use a second/third camera to shoot the interviewer. OR you can set up the shoot so we see the interviewer.
- Set up a medium shot for the majority of the interview. A second camera can adjust shots between questions.
- Set exposure to manual. Tap and hold screen until you get AE lock mode, make adjustment.
- DO A TEST RUN. Check sound levels. Playback.
- Instruct your subject to look straight down the camera lens so they are talking to the viewer (and not directly to you).
- Instruct your subject to leave a few seconds before they start answering questions to make it easier for you to edit.
- Wait a few seconds before you end the video so that you have time for a fade out or other effect in post.
