Perfecting the Art of Interviewing

There is much more that goes into interviewing than just asking the perfect questions. This week, Professor Jirik stopped into class to talk to us about specific techniques that help to build a solid interview. He referred to the Rule of Thirds, which was discussed in class on Monday, as well as camera angles and other tips that would help to make the interview look more professional. Jirik has worked for a number of news broadcasting companies around the world, so his input was incredibly insightful.

Once we had our lesson with Jirik, Professor Littau sent us on a mission to gather footage from several different places around campus. Debbie and I interviewed Lehigh faculty, staff and students about how the campus handled the incredible snow storm that caused the university to shut down for a day. Through these interviews, we were able to experiment with different types of lighting in an array of settings. As always, these clips were going to be used in the newest lab assignment that we were going to work on later in the week.
