Man on the Street Video Production

Tips for Creating Man on the Street Videos

• Craft a question that prompts interesting answers.

  The key to creating a compelling man on the street video is generating a wide variety of interesting responses, and the best way to do so is to choose a question that will elicit a range of detailed answers. The question you pick should be broad enough that interviewees will not all give the same response but narrow enough that all answers will stay focused on the intended subject.

• Pick the right filming location and time.

  By their very nature, man on the street videos must be filmed outside on city sidewalks. The best locations for this kind of video will have plenty of foot traffic in order to bring in enough potential interviewees and to generate a sense of excitement. If possible, shoot your interviews in the period just before sunset; known as the ""magic hour"" in cinematography, this time of day offers the most flattering light for your subjects.

• Create cohesion and interest through editing.

  No matter how well crafted your question is, most responses that you receive will not be particularly compelling; while the purpose of man on the street video production is to record the reactions of ordinary people, most of the public will not be comfortable enough on camera to provide an entertaining response. For this reason, one of the keys to creating a cohesive and absorbing man on the street video is creating interest through editing and pacing.

My experience with 90 Seconds has been different than any other video production company - mainly just because of how global the company is.
