TIP #4 FOR FILMING INTERVIEWS - NAIL YOUR EYE LEVEL

Adjust the the camera lens to be at the same height as the talent’s eye. More importantly make sure whoever is asking the questions off-camera is on the same level as the camera lens. 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. 

Tip: Its uncomfortable to crouch for a long interview while asking the questions so find a chair and adjust your height before you start.
