QUESTION 5 OF 30

What is your experience with lighting?

A large responsibility of being a multimedia journalist is being able to produce a good quality video or picture of a subject to show on television or on digital platforms. Using lights to highlight the subject or tell a story is critical to producing a good quality work. The candidate should discuss their previous experience with lighting shots and their knowledge of lighting to show the interviewer that they are capable of producing good work. They also should show flexibility in learning new techniques and improving their work if need be.

"I have much experience shooting video late at night or early in the morning, so I am very good at using lighting to expose faces against dark backgrounds. I am also well versed at white balancing my camera when the sun sets or rises, so I always have a shot that is correctly color balanced. However, I am open to other photographers introducing me to new techniques to I can improve."
