This seems like a good place to stop. Let's call practice here.
Okay. Nice work, everyone.
Yeah, nice work!
Oh, there's something I need to ask before I forget. Would you all mind if we talked while we stretch?
Yes, Minori?
So, now that we've decided to accept that offer to appear on iHaz...
I know I might be getting ahead of myself here...
But I want you all to teach me how to look good on camera!
How to look good on camera?
Y-Yeah... I have a habit of blinking or looking the wrong direction whenever I get pictures of me taken...
Which is why I wanna learn how to look better when a camera is pointed towards me!
I see. You're right that you're getting a little ahead of yourself, but I think we can give you a few tips.
Yay! Thank you so much!
You got it!
First, these shoots always involve a lot of cameras.
So, it's important to check how you fit into each camera's frame.
How I fit into each frame?
For example, camera one might be pointed at you head-on, while camera two is looking at you from the side. You could be gone from camera three because it's looking at the people next to you.
Where a camera is can greatly change how you appear in the end.
Exactly. There are cases where one camera's zoomed in on someone but they sort of waste their chance by looking and speaking in a completely different direction.
However, it's not always easy to do those checks since everyone's usually scrambling around to get ready.
Which is why you usually have to just imagine how you're gonna look based on where the cameras are located.
O-Okay, I see... That seems kinda tricky.
We have some time, so why don't we practice that a little?
Huh? You can practice that?
Yeah. We'll just be using the cameras on our phones, but it should give you a better idea.
Oh, okay! Yes, please!
Hehe. I'll be more than happy to help.
Same. It's important to get used to this, so let's give it a go.
Alright, let's do it!
Minori, I'll be camera one, Shizuku will be camera two and Airi will be camera three.
We'll take turns raising our hands, so make sure to look towards the corresponding camera.
Okay!
Hehe. This is fun. It's like a little game♪
Yeah, kind of.
Okay, your first challenge is to introduce yourself!
Minori, your job will be to speak while looking towards the camera operator who has their hand raised.
Got it!
Airi, Shizuku, are you ready?
Yup! Ready when you are!
Then... Start!
(First up is Haruka's camera...!)
Hello, everyone!
I'm Minori Hanasato from MORE MORE JUMP!
We mostly do live streams online where we get to meet and interact with our fans!
Oh, I see. Then, Hanasato, I'd like to ask you a question!
O-Of course!
(Now it's Airi's camera...!)
(Phew... I managed to give an okay answer...)
Hanasato, may I ask the next question?
(Now it's Shizuku!)
...!
...?
Minori...?
May I ask the next question?
Y-Yes, of course...!
I forgot to respond!
Oh...
Hehe...!
Oh, geez. You looked way too serious while saying that.
B-But!
It's so hard to juggle everything all at once...!
I understand how you feel, Minori. It took me quite a long time to get used to it as well.
Everyone goes through this, so let's just take it one step at a time.
O-Okay.
