Odd filming technique on local news, lately.

What's up with local news stations staging shots of interview subjects with a second camera on screen?
It plays as if we're watching a video of a video of an interview.
Have y'all seen this? What's behind it? Are the local news stations being too artsy? Film school rejects?

Some sort of meta video technique. Yeah it’s silly.
I see it a lot on WBRZ

Katc 3 in Lafayette has moved to that basically no anchor in the studio weird. Last night they should of led off with the horrible traffic crash on 55. But the newscast started out with a mom wanting justice for her son shot and then went to a baptist church buying a movie theater to have services there horrible setup for a newscast all this by journalists basically filming on the scene by themselves

They're the main offenders. That's where I see it most, too. There's also an odd trend of tight shots on a subjects hands while they're talking. Real cutting edge stuff...

It’s a “production shot,” and WBRZ uses them in the most bizarre way. It’s generally used to show a cool space where the interview takes place, or as a cutaway from something else, but WBRZ likes to use them to show the shitty closet or crappy living room of their subject/interviewee.

Local news is the only news I will watch.

They use it to show off Nakamoto's bald spot

I had to read your post twice, because I thought it might have been a Zoom or FaceTime interview where they screen recorded themselves on a split screen instead of cropping out or turning off your self view so you don’t see yourself on the screen recording.
But locally I have seen our Fox Affiliate (WVUE) use multiple cameras and angles on big Lee Zurik stories to give his stories a 60 Minutes look and feel.
But in every day circumstances, the reporter will sometimes get the videographer to shoot some cut a ways for the package to help with editing. Now with cellphone cameras as good as they can be, I have seen some videographers use cellphones with a Gimble for Broll instead of their cameras.

Stop watching the news. It’s a waste of time and bad for your emotional and mental health.

I used to see cameramen and reporters waiting outside city hall or a courthouse to shoot a report. Now it is a 24 year old reporter holding a phone up like he is shooting a selfie. Now and then the phone is on a stand.

I’ll sometimes watch Nola local news airings from the 80s or 90s on YouTube bc I’m weird

Nakamoto does this all the time. He's had the same camera man for years and when they do those kind of shots we get to see his camera man on camera. I wondered if the guy gets paid a little more if he's both in front of and behind the camera?
