Our Interview Setup Process

At Lens End Media, we have proudly developed an interview setup process that ensures a perfect interview every time.

Prior to scheduling interview filming, we like to know a few key things including: how many cameras would you need for the interview, if there are any video examples that you can share that you would like to mimic, when would you like to do the video interview, and if you have a list of questions you would like to ask the interviewee.

From the time we arrive to a location, we typically require 90 minutes on average to set up the interview frame. During this time, our team is setting up lights, cameras, and sound. An ideal interview filming location is one that has ample space and also has windows that allow for natural lighting. Lastly, the space should have little noise from any natural sound so that we can properly capture the subject speaking.

After our setup, we are rolling. During filming, we want to ensure that only one person is asking the interviewee any questions. We prefer that one of our directors or producers asks the questions, however in some cases we understand that the client wants to ask the questions.

After filming we’re all set! We now have the perfect interview footage to help guide the story during the final video.

Why the Frame Should Be Perfect

Interview framing is incredibly important because of the amount of real estate the interview section can take up in any video. When there is no b-roll being shown, the viewer will constantly revisit the subject’s interview frame throughout the entirety of the piece. Knowing this, it’s critical that the interview frame is constructed the right way.
