Here are some quick tips for journalists for shooting successful Web video: Put the camera on a tripod. Shaky video stinks. And, when compressing video for the web, stable video will compress much, much better. Set up subject with microphone. Remember, 70 percent of video is audio. So, place a lav mic under your interview subject's chin, about a hand's length away. Make sure mic is working. (Cables are plugged in, tight, batteries are working, devices turned on, settings are correct, etc.) Always, always, always monitor your audio.
