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.

That is the truth day. It has certainly set me free.
Taking your own pictures, or are you doing video? That would be cool.
