Tips for a Video Interview

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Interviewing by video means you miss the nuances and warmth of face-to-face meetings. Technical glitches can make a conversation more stop-and-start than free-flowing. Personal tics can be magnified. And speaking to a video screen just isn’t the same as talking to a three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood person.

Even though today’s video interview is much slicker than in years’ past, it still has its glitches. Often, there’s a delay between when something is said and when it’s heard at the other locale. Understand that before you show up for your interview, and you won’t try to fill silences with casual banter or assume your interviewer is unhappy with your response and waiting for you to say something more enlightening.

Always remember that you are on camera and plan accordingly:

1. Dress correctly. Avoid stripes and other patters that can come across as busy and distracting. Avoid white (it’s too glaring). If you are wearing a tie, make sure it is solid or has a very subtle pattern.

2. Watch how you move. The camera is going to magnify any nervous habits or fidgeting. To pinpoint those before your interview, ask someone to videotape you or practice in front of a mirror.

3. Get to your appointment early. Take your seat; check your appearance on the monitor; ask the technician to set up the camera so your face and upper body fill the screen. This is also a good time to see if you’ll be behind a desk. If so, you might be able to put some notes or talking points on it to help you during the interview. At the very least, you might be able to post reminders of key points on the wall behind the camera.

4. Remember that a camera records everything. If you can’t set up before the interview begins, then assume the camera is rolling. Now is not the time to adjust your tie, fix your hair, etc.

What Is a Movie?

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

The word “movie” comes from the term “motion picture” — pictures that move.

movieLike books, movies tell a story. But instead of words on paper, movies are a visual and a listening experience. The audience sees and hears the story. People all over the world love this powerful medium — they love the way movies
tell stories.

The storyteller is the director. He/she is in charge of how a story is made into a film. Exactly where and how the images are filmed and edited, how the actors portray their characters, and what the audience experiences, is all part of the
director’s vision. The story itself can be simple or complex, silly or intense. The director’s vision is responsible for how the movie makes the audience feel about the story: sad, amused, bored, exhilarated, scared, powerful, or humble.

Stories in books can describe any place in the universe, with any number of characters. But there are constraints in film making. Film directors can be limited by the weather, number of actors, available space, and, especially, the
money needed for props, costumes, special lighting, sound and camera equipment. So, a lot of creative problem-solving comes into play.

It is the director’s challenge to make his or her vision translate from story to movie, using the techniques of filmmaking — things like character development, camera angles, and editing. But you have to develop your own vision and probably the best way is to create (or help create) a film from beginning to end. By doing so, you will learn how to:
• develop a story and interesting characters
• write the story in the language of filmmakers: a screenplay
• create a visual storyboard to show camera angles, distance, and subjects
• plan a filming schedule
• utilize various camera, sound, and lighting techniques
• work with actors
• understand the power of art direction and continuity
• use costumes and makeup
• do post-production sound and editing
