What is the quickest way to increase your focus on the interview and drastically improve the quality of the material that you get?
Delegate your tech responsibilities to someone else.
A cameraperson.
An audio recorder.
A producer, cinematographer, whatever.
Get rid of the need for you to focus on the tech and focus entirely on the interviewee.
In this episode, I argue that one of the best things for the quality of your container is to be able to focus in, and one of the best ways to do that is to delegate your tech. It work for Hollywood and narrative films, so why can't it work for documentary?
