At the end of going through all of our questions it's good to ask the talent if there is anything else they’d like to add. 

While a lot can be cut in post, its best to have a concise version of the answer so the editor has the option. 

With the host it creates a different feel to the show - more of a conversation between people.

If you have the luxury of having your editor on location during the interview then they can begin to have a sense of how they will want to cut it.

If possible, have at least 2 cameras rolling with different framing during the interview so you are able to cut to the other camera in the edit. 

It is a good practice to clear the room of any unessential personnel during the interview to make it less distracting for the talent.

Put the mic on the talent after you've made all the camera/lighting adjustments and are ready to shoot. 

If the client is on set make sure to get their approval of the framing before you begin the interview. This is one of those opportunities to allow them to chime in creative input which makes them feel like their opinion matters. 

It looks strange when the talent is looking above or below the eye line. Whoever is asking the questions needs to adjust their height to be at the same level as the lens. 

It’s important to keep your talent feeling relaxed and fresh for their interview. Don’t call your talent to sit in until you are almost ready to shoot.
