Video Voice 2:Titles• Can be used to summarise visual
information on screen

Video Voice 3:Interviews / Fly on the wall• Set up correctly; sound, position and light
– Hard to repeat situation• Make the subject comfortable• Brief the expert
– Explain your aims– Ask them to repeat your questions back
• Spontaneous or staged? • Interviews: prepare your questions, make them
open & meet your learning objectives• Fly on the wall – what are you wanting to show?• Prepare to edit, listen for sound bites
Storyboard• Plan the shots to use
– Streamline filming and editing– Ensure you film only what you need– Can this be achieved? – Moving / still images
• Add visual elements to a script• Supporting shots for interview• Combine elements;
– Video description / composition– Length of shot– Titles / subtitles– Narration / other audio– Location, notes etc.
