Hello all, long time no post. After reading the posts on forum participation, I figured that I would log in and pose a question to you camera jockeys, with the hope of sparking some constructive discussion. This is mostly directed at ENG shooters, but of course all are welcome to contribute!

Scenario: You’re in the field shooting an interview with your journalist, the interview questions have wrapped up and you’re given the signal to grab some b-roll of your interview subject.

Questions: What kind of shots do you take to make your b-roll interesting, more than simply the extreme closeup, the wideshot with the reporter, or the gesturing hands? Different angles, points of view? How do you feel about the walk-by shot? Asking the subject to jump on their computer and check e-mail?

Thanks, and happy shooting!
