Sengstack video shooting tips response

1. That to appropriately set a scene one must get a wide or tight establishing shot to cover and introduce the setting for the remainder of the story. Aerial shots work well for this but you should consider different viewpoints as well.
-To accurately cover a story one must get a variety of good shots that define or detail the story's topic or setting to further an interview. When shooting one should always get more shots than they need for extra latitude when editing.
2.Getting your camera off the tripod and away from eye level leads to more interesting and enjoyable shots.
-The lens zoom can be a crutch, sometimes the best way to zoom in or out is to simply lean in or away from your subject.
