Im directing a "documentary" for my school and msg varsity ( its just a little piece on the school play and auditions are already over so its not gunna be how i would ideally do it ) and im just doing it for practice and dont want/expect it to be shown any where ... so ive been wondering how to film the interviews, i will only have one camcorder that the school provides and a tripod and CHEAP mic ( i think its connected to the camcorder ).
Do i just film the thing over the shoulder with some inserts or would i shoot it like a narrative piece in a film ( like would i ask the person im interviewing to repeat lines so i can get differnt angles and stuff) and inserts? it seems strange to me. any advice is appreaciated. forgive my noobness
