Start to record narration into computer and gather still
images or archival clips from the Internet to support narration.
Then record dramatizations or original footage:
Set up the video camera
- Indirect, natural sunlight provides the best lighting.
- Position the subject in a comfortable chair with a back.
- Keep the background behind the subject relatively
neutral. Avoid items that distract from the subject
(ex: paintings, fish tanks, etc.)
- Set the camera on a steady surface.
The camera should not move at all during the interview.
Using a tripod will ensure consistent positioning.
- Position the camera close to the subject. Tight framing
is important: when viewed through the camera, the subject's
head and upper body should fill the frame.
- Do not position the subject in the center of the frame.
Position him/her to the side, facing the empty part of the
frame.
Start to edit the video:
- cut false starts and mistakes
- review video footage and determine items to be cut and
added.
- make further notes for voice-over and editing.
