Workshop 1: Interviews
Each member of the group should shoot a 2- to 5-minute interview of another group member, based on the following questions:
- What is your name and hometown?
- What career will you pursue once you graduate from Clayton State?
- Tell us the story about something memorable that has happened to you or to a friend.
Some people like to talk about themselves; many don't. Regardless, it is the interviewer's responsibility to make a good video. You need to find a way to get an effective interview.
Note that the background for the interview is also important. Take some time to find a background that is attractive and visually interesting, without being too distracting. Each interview within the group must use a different background.
Also note that the shots should vary. Each interview should include a closeup, an extreme closeup, and a medium shot. DO NOT zoom within the shot.

Workshop 5: Shooting interviews
We will be interviewing one another today using a lavaliere (or "lav") microphone on locations near our classroom. You should focus the interview on a favorite movie or television show.
