Conducting on-camera interviews is an art form, I believe. A great interview can totally enhance a video project -- with carefully crafted and delivered interview questions, you can really bring out some amazing information about a person, an event or a place.
This week I came across several pages of helpful hints that can assist you in improving interview questions and techniques, on the website from MediaCollege.com
"Interviewing is a vital skill for any journalist. It is one of the most important ways to gather information and create content for a story. Good interview technique requires practice so don't expect to master it immediately. The next few pages should give you a reasonable understanding of how interviews work, what to do and what not to do."
Their short guie to improving interviews is divided between five pages on their website - can you review the entire guide by starting with the first page below or you can access each page independently based on your interest (click on the specific topic you wish to review)
This tutorial is suitable for any type of interview situation but has a slight emphasis on video/television interviews.
