Making your interviewees feel comfortable on camera is crucial for creating an impactful testimonial video.
When people feel at ease, they will be more likely to open up and share their story authentically.
Here are some tips for making people feel comfortable on camera:
Establish a relationship with your interviewees: Building rapport can help them feel more comfortable on camera. Take the time to get to know your interviewees and make them feel at ease.
Explain the process: Let your interviewees know what to expect during the filming process, including what questions you'll be asking and what they should wear.
Provide clear direction: Give them clear instructions on where to look and what to do. Let them know if they should speak directly to the camera or to the interviewer.
Take breaks: Filming can be a long and tiring process. Take breaks as needed to allow interviewees to rest and recharge.
Offer feedback: Provide them with feedback on their performance, including what they're doing well and what they could improve. This can help build their confidence and make them feel more comfortable on camera.
Be flexible: Be willing to adjust your filming schedule and approach to accommodate interviewee needs and preferences.
Help your interviewees feel more comfortable on camera, and the result will be a more powerful and impactful testimonial video.
