I have an assignment to do for an interview I know what I would write for this question just making sure I'm right so if you could write what you would do that would be appreciated. Please don't respond if you don't know what your talking about.

1.    Using any or all of  the equipment listed and shown below, imagine yourself in a small room (pictured) and describe or draw how you would set up any or all of this equipment for a video interview.

·         Video camera with shoe mount

·         Tripod

·         Tripod or shoe-mountable video light

·         32” reflector

·         Tripod or shoe-mountable microphone & audio cable

The room has two chairs up against the wall with natural light comming in from the person in the chairs right side.

I would set up with the window behind the subject, off to the right side out of the frame, then i'd set up the first light on the right side of the camera then id use the reflector to get light from the window on the left side of the camere and have the subject look his right of the camera. Classic 3 point lighting.

Or can you not move the chairs? because if you can't thats weak, i would write what i wrote anyways and tell my prof to fuck off because why would you slam someone against a wall for an interview an why would you have a HUGE natural light source blaring into your shot?
