Portrait Video

mikeyeung5 — Sat, 19 Jun 2021 18:13:04 +0000

I have spent lots of time for shooting portrait video, I think it is more challenging than still photography, need to have a lots of planning and communicate with the model, also need to try so many times to get the right shot.

Over YouTube, portrait still not that popular, and i hope it will be more popular like still portrait.

All videos shot with Lumix GH5 / GH5s

This is my showreel of portrait video

POV style

They shot in high speed, about 100 - 180 fps, everything looks better in slowmotion

Corporate interviews

I'm about to shoot interviews of local entrepreneurs so I wanted to start this topic in order to get some tips and later on share what I pick up along the road. The idea is to make short portrait films, between 20 seconds and 2 minutes in length which intercuts interview head shots with footage of the work/services of the entreprenuer (I bet you all know what I'm talking about, since it's pretty standard stuff).

The plan is to go through some of the following steps involved:

Preparations
Questions
Light and sound
Shooting
Editing
Delivery

Let's start with the Questions: During an interview, what kind of questions would you ask to get the person to talk about his or her business?

I was planning to ask some of these questions to get the ball rolling:

Who are you?
What kind of work do you do?
What can you provide your customers with?
Why did you start doing this?
How do you know you're on the right track with your business?
What inspires you?

This is a clip that got me inspired on the psychology of interviews, I especiallt like the tip on sending the questions ahead of the interview and then start off by saying: "You know all those questions I sent you in advance? Let's forget about them and just have a conversation!":

Feel free to critizise and add your thoughts on the process!

Happy shooting!
