ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Mastering the On-Camera Interview
Learn the art and technique of conducting on-camera interviews. In this hands-on workshop, participants will practice interview best practices—what to do, what to avoid, and how to make subjects feel comfortable. You'll also learn the basics of setting up your camera, capturing clear sound, and using basic lighting to enhance your image. Whether you're filming a personal story or a documentary project, this session will give you the tools to do it right.
