Shortcuts: Framing a TV interview

Poor framing makes a video interview look amateurish. Of course there are many styles of shooting which leaves room for variation.  But if you want to achieve the framing of a conventional TV interview then these are my suggestions.

• Eyes on the top third line of the frame
• Eyes looking into a space towards the interviewer
• You can see both eyes
• Back of head away from the frame but not too much dead space
• Little bit of space above the head but not to much

Any other ideas welcome.

Shortcuts: Dropbox

If you haven't come across Dropbox yet I would urge you to have a look.  It's very simple and for anyone wanting to work collaboratively or share files effortlessly it is truly simple. I'm using it with some of the schools I've been working with. It requires an application installing which will enable you to synchronize files with the online storage.
