TIP #12 FOR FILMING INTERVIEWS - THE LAST QUESTION
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. Was there anything we missed? The talent’s answers feel much more natural because they are speaking from the heart. It also gives them the opportunity to say anything that’s been burning on their chest. Usually the talent takes this opportunity to say something here.
Tip: Don't be in a rush to stop rolling once you are finished going through your questions. Sometimes the talent adds a great sound bite at the end that you won't want to miss.
