Interviewing someone on camera can be tricky. If you don't ask the right questions in the right way, an interview can quickly become stale, boring or inauthentic. I've compiled a few tips for you, so you can make sure that the interview you are filming is as engaging and professional as possible.
Open Vs. Closed Questions
When interviewing someone, getting the best answer is your top priority. While asking the right question is crucial, HOW you ask the question is just as important. Asking open-ended questions is the best way to get the response you are looking for. For instance, asking 'Do you enjoy your work?" will illicit a yes or no answer. But if you ask, "What are you working on at the moment?" will give you a far better response. It allows the subject to really get into the meat of the subject, and will give you much better content for your video.
Ask Them to Repeat the Question
When answering the question, have your subject include the question in their answer. If you ask, "What is the best part of your job?" their answer might start with "The best part of y job is...". This simple technique will help out a lot when editing the video, especially if you don't plan on having narration. It will give their answer context so the audience knows exactly what they are talking about.
Prepare your questions
Have your questions prepared before the interview. This may seem obvious, but it is a common mistake for interviewers to be overconfident or lazy before the interview and try to 'wing it'. Think about what information you need from your subject and what type of questions will get the responses you want. But don't think there isn't room to improvise. If your subject starts to talk about something interesting, go with it and ask appropriate, natural questions. If you rigidly stick to your prepared questions, the conversation and rapport with your interviewee can suffer.
Don't give out your questions
To get the best, most natural answers possible, it's usually best not to give your questions out before the interview. You can give a general idea on what kinds of questions you'll ask, but if the subject tries to prepare their answers, you run the risk of the interview being robotic and stale.
Stop Talking
Keep your questions short and to the point. If you ask a long-winded question, the subject may forget the point of the question, or not understand exactly what you are asking. Once you have finished asking the question, stop talking. Unless you are a subject in the interview, don't make any noises such as "yeah" or "ok". You can nod and gesture, but keep it quiet. This will make sure your voice isn't picked up in the audio and will reduce editing time.
Give them the final word
At the end of the interview, ask if you have missed anything or if there is a topic they want to talk about. As prepared as you may be, sometimes the best information will be something you hadn't thought of.
Following these simple tips will make sure that you film an informative and professional interview on video every time.
For any questions about filming interviews or if you'd like to shoot your own interviews, please contact me here at Dreamengine. I'd love to help.

Have you ever tried - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 at last got great results with it.

Wonderful tutorial Ryan! I liked how you identified the top questions to ask the interviewee while also providing suggestions for how the interviewer should prepare to maximize a positive interview experience. Do you provide additional tutorials on the variety of approaches to use in conducting interviews? For instance, the interviewee could provide answers to questions as he/she is conducting a tour of his/her facility. Keep up the great work! I have subscribed to your channel. I’m in San Francisco. I’m creating raw footage of the top Points of Interest within the San Francisco Bay Area for my KZread channel, and when the opportunity comes to interview someone, I want to be as prepared as possible. I've created a recent video on the top Points of Interests within the Coombsville wine appellation of Napa Valley that you may enjoy.

Somewhere I disagree with "Don't give out your questions". I believe that it is important for the other person to know what exactly are we going to talk about, with this they will be able to prepare for the interview better (The anwers would still be natural) but not knowing questions might end up with jumbled words/anwers in interview. I've faced this multiple times.

Start by using whatever you have available to you. The important things is to start sharing your content.
stop talking is one of the best tips that present day wannabe journalists need ... all these folks doing podcasts and such
Good stuff. We just released some how-to videos from the interviewees perspective. Take a look!
don't give out the questions???? Oh no! I actually have a Google docs list of question that I prepared for myself, and I have at least that I have given my interested parties and so that they will feel comfortable. People are so hesitant to talk with me that I thought this would be the best way to put them at ease.🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️

40 Entrepreneur Drive If people ask to see the questions first, or will only participate if they see the questions, then it is ok to share them. It’s all about helping your interviewees to feel more comfortable. The main thing you want to avoid is them over preparing, and the interview feeling too staged.
