Since every cinematographer should know how to shoot an interview, I will introduce the basic techniques which work best for me, which can hopefully be applied to a range of situations. I’ll use some footage which I recently shot for a short documentary, which included a sit down interview, as an example to illustrate the concepts of placement, lighting and framing.

No words for his teaching style. He is not only just a Cinematographer but a great 'teacher' also. Thank you for being my 'free film school'.
Shooting an interview this month, and that eyelight tip was GOLDEN! Thanks so much for your consistently high quality work
That just saved my life today. I seen this video this morning before I shot my interview the that eye light made it 1000x more intimate. Thanks for these videos.
For me framing part is the most informative, I knew all other parts already. Thx.
Thank you so much! Learn a lot from you! Awesome! 👍👍💙💙😊😊
Good to see a sponsor related to cinematic lighting
Could you make a video about how much of the budget of a production goes to the photography area? Example if a movie has a budget of 5 million dollars, how much of that is for the camera and lighting equipment? Greetings from Panama 🇵🇦
Yea this would be good, as well as estimates for all other departments as opposed to just lighting
Not a single video you’ve published has been disappointing. All your content is so helpful, strong, interesting, and flat out impressive. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
Great guide! Thank you much.
Thanks for watching.
This content is so helpful, I have an interview tomorrow for an internship at a documentary production enterprise and I feel like this knowledge will come in handy.
wonderful content man. Would love to see more of this behind the scenes from your projects as well. Love the channel. Keep it up!
Great video as always. I prefer to shoot on shadows side of the face than light side. It creates more depth, not as 10:13.
Amazing! Thanks very much!
Great tips and teachings as always Gray! Thanks a lot
Beautifully done! Love that golden lighting on Brown skin tip! Thank you for this tutorial!
Awesome video as usual. Love your work
Thanks for watching. Hope it was helpful.
I've only seen Relics and these few clips of your other work, and I gotta say I do like your cinematography.
thank you very much!
Hi, just wanted to thank you for this video. As a film student and aspiring DoP, this was truly helpful.
Hope you're doing well, thanks again.
Wild Wild Country was a great story with great music
Genius to use the shots from The Office as counterexamples to avoid, given that they were chosen deliberately for effect there (eg. Brent has no objects in background as he is not interesting and, of course, he has no depth.)
With all the examples of poor cinematography in The Office, I was thinking they had to have done it on purpose right?
@@colinsoder Yes. Sorry if that wasn't clear from my comment - I was perhaps trying to underline that they weren't just 'bad' shots (they are), they are also symbolic of the characters themselves.
Great videos man. Which camera did you use to shoot the interview??
Sony FS7
I like how this channel's initials are IDC as in I Don't Care. Yet they put so much care and effort into their work, oh the irony.
can you do a videos about cutting plan or " b-roll" for interwiew pls.
Amazing vid
I cant help it 10:33
How big was your crew for the ceramic artist's interview?
Just me and the director (who also recorded sound). About 15-20 minutes set up time for the lights. Pretty standard for a documentary.
@@InDepthCine All the gear fit into one truck?
@@andrewmusgrave5377 If by truck you mean the boot of my car, then yes.
@@InDepthCine So cool. It's mindboggling the quality of footage you can get these days with a small gear footprint.
"Boot" is the most South African phrase ever😂 I hope Americans know you mean trunk.
Great content thank you! Could you tell us what video are the shots at 4’55’’ taken from ? I really like the mood. Thanks again for the great work!
Thanks for the tutorial. I notice that you had blooming highlights in your shot. Are you achieving that through a filter on your lens or in post?
Hi, thanks for the video. I’m more confident now. What do You think about using haze machine in interview? Isn’t it risky if we think that it can just run away during interview? Thank u!
Yo man helping out the channel yo
Really nice job mate ! Aren't you worried that such a big bright area will be distracting away from your subject ?
Have you ever had to do a lighting situation using only practicals on hand? Like side table lamps in a living room? I'd love to learn how to get good results out of a DIY situation like that, since gear is getting to be so expensive and it seems like the supply chains are slowing down too... Actually that could make a good video as well :)
All the interviews at 12:40 were done without any film lights. Just with careful placement of subjects next to windows, adding some practicals in the background and using negative fill to create more shadow/contrast on one side of the face (an 8x8 blackout rigged to 2 c-stands if I remember correctly).
Sometimes when you don't have time/resources to set up lights, the only way to 'light' is based on where you place your subject .
@@InDepthCine Fascinating! You ever had to do that on a short film or something that was narrative fiction? The other thing I wonder is does working like that really speed up production time?
A great video! If I were shooting the ceramic artist's interview, I would probably try to light up the ceramic pots, rather than place the magnetic light there. Also, what's your formula for short framing? Traditionally, it has always been used to emphasize 'discomfort' of the subject. However, more and more documentaries seem to be using it just a stylistic choice. Would love to hear your take on it.
I wondered the same thing about short-side framing. I see it a lot in these examples, as well as downstage lighting. Both are traditionally avoided unless you are trying to add subtext to the story.
Good to have an insight on your work too mate! Great video! Just out of curiosity. When editing these interviews, do you tend to cut between cameras (if available) to hide umms/cuts or use broll for that. A lot of the times I like to use the closeups/wides depending on the emotion of the interview (like you said, intimate moments) however because I am also using the cameras to hide the longer pauses it detracts when I actually do swap to closeup for the intimate moment so it doesn't feel as powerful. Or do you on the day ensure that the answers are more refined, more of a "soundbite" style so its easier on the editing?
When shooting interviews (my colleague does the questioning) we do overshoot the questions and usually end up from 15-30 minute segment which I have to cut down to around 1-3 minutes worth of interview.
A very nice and well explained tutorial. BTW do you have your work samples uploaded somewhere? Would love to check them out!
Thanks. www.graykotze.com
Hey, is there a link to the short film? Would love to watch. thank you
Did you shoot that Bikram Yoga documentary? I liked those interviews in that documentary!
❤️
Perfect timing with this upload as I'm about to shoot an interview with an artist tomorrow! Thanks
what is the focal length in this scene?
If you only have on real pro camera, can you use the Iphone as your 2nd camera?
This was great. When do you find it appropriate to give less breathing room or extra headroom? Both techniques seem pretty unconventional but used frequently in your examples.
If you want to really show off the filming space as part of the subject, you frame it extra wide with more headroom. Less breathing room when you want to frame a subject more intensely/intimately. It’s also more claustrophobic visually so you want to save it for more heightened moments. If you’ve only got 1 camera, frame wider. When shooting my own stuff, I honestly hate overly tight framing so the closest I usually get get is medium close up
Do you meter?
What did you set your White Balance to? I’m guessing 5600 but then again you did keylight to 4500 so I’m curious? 🧐
5600K
Too many ads. Good content
this video will make me rich one day thank u very much !
Pause at 8:39 lol
This footage shoot with fs7 Sony ?
That's right.
what a good image very good your channel I am always attentive to your new videos
It looks very lit, and poles are sticking out of her head.
Here's how you shoot an interview: I person talks and then another person talks! Case closed!
