Video Shoot

I didn’t mean to post the entire article online, but from the Online Journalism Review is a basic guide: Tips for shooting better online video.

I was reading through my Introduction to Broadcast Journalism lecture notes to see again the different shot types – pan, tight, mid, wide, etc. – and noticed some of the notes I took in class (almost two years ago now).

…give camera person as much info as will help get the right shots
- fine line between giving info and telling camera person what to do

But when online, usually I am the camera person. So I should know how to get the right shots myself, and be able to tell the camera person (if I do happen to have one) exactly what I want and how I want it.
