This will be a busy, stressful day when we’re all under deadline, so reduce distractions.

Focus on work at hand.

Keep your workstations quiet.

Use headphones/earbuds to listen to soundtrack.

Speak mostly with your partner.

As much as possible, share editing work.

Alternate every 30 minutes or 1 hour.

Respect input of non-editing partner.

Have questions ready, and make them

Topical to the project

Open-ended (not just yes or no questions).

Be friendly and relatable. Follow the Golden Rule.

Give an introduction for yourself and the project.

Ask people to restate question in answer, and/or ask to restate or rephrase if necessary.

Whether you shoot a participant in the center of the screen or to one side, be consistent with the style, and give subjects headroom.

Take your time, and add handles to the beginning and end of the clip.
