TIP #5 FOR FILMING INTERVIEWS - GET THE CLIENT’S APPROVAL

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. 

Tip: Go a step further and set up a client monitor so they can see the interview while it is being shot and if anything needs to be re-done you can make it happen right there and then.
