Resolution
This clip is intended for employees in internal communication. It was a spontaneous decision and the clip had to go out quickly. That's why I chose a smaller format (1920 x 1080 - Full HD) to keep post-production as simple as possible.
Recording format
I choose an MP4 container using the new and efficient codec H.265. This is a very efficient codec, which saves storage space when recording the statement.
Colour space
I choose to record directly in the 709 colour space. This way, the look of the statement is ready for export without any further post-processing. Alternatively, you could also work in CLog3 and in the edit with a LUT, but this was not necessary in this case as the scene was easy to control.
Directing and dialogue
I made a note of the most important points during a preliminary discussion. With specific questions and dialogue to guide them through the desired topics and statements. A script with specific sentences would hinder the natural flow.
Portrait
It makes sense to shoot a portrait in the same set-up. I do this by switching the camera from film mode to photo mode. I check the settings and shoot several dozen pictures in continuous mode.
Post-production
The statement is edited in DaVinci Resolve by shortening the intended content, getting to the point and combining it with the music.
