I'm videoing a talking head piece to be projected at an offsite event in our company, and while I don't think they're going to be too fussy about it (they asked for volunteers with own equipment) I obviously want to do it as well as I can.
I have a Nikon P7100 which films semi-decent 720p video; access to a GoPro of some description; and a Zoom H2 that I can use to record sound more closely than the cameras can pick up.
Was thinking of having one camera static for the person to face directly into, and handhold the other camera off to the side for some extra coverage shots to break up the edit. Which camera would you mount out of the Nikon or the GoPro? The mounted camera would end up with the most footage in the end product.
The room is rectangular with a window on one of the short sides, brown wooden doors and off-white walls. The sun will be behind buildings and sky probably overcast, and there are maybe ten spotlights in the ceiling, so how would you arrange the speaker/cameras? And just film in front of the white walls to keep things simple?
There is a conference table but a seated talking head is a little too much like the Queen's Speech for me, so will maybe see if they would do it standing.
Any advice appreciated!
