What is the proper way to set up a shot when filming a Stand Up Interview? - Jonathan W - 04-16-2013 12:21 AM

I'm filming a documentary style social experiment for my Media class, I was just wondering What the best way to set up a shot for a stand up interview would be. We will most likely be filming off the shoulder for the majority of the video.

Just below the shoulders at an angle from the interviewer so that the responder is looking at the other person but still facing the lens. A slight 3/4 profile gives the face more modeling.

Plain white background will do, just rely on the tripod for a sneak preview of the results. 2-4 inches below the shoulder is fine, just don't have it completely centered like a framed picture for it will appear dull.
