General Notes
Action = reaction
If someone looks away we want to see what they're looking at
Good coverage - in a 2-shot get good cutaway & single shots
MCU - interview shot
Signpost - flag something up for audience at home
Cutaway to something which is relevant
Create a stunt - person you've interviewed get them to do something relevant to the topic
Finish it nicely
Make sure 'who it's for' is clear
