Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, Carol Gullidge

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

neilmac Nov 28, 2019:
PRO query How anyone can deem this "non-pro" is quite frankly beyond me. But then again, who am I to question other people's motives or decisions? Suffice it to say that if it were possible, I'd vote it PRO. But that option doesn't seem to be available.

straight to camera

Straight to Camera
With this format, the subject will stand or sit around 3-4 metres from the camera and look straight into the camera lens.
Example sentence:

The primary options are 'talking head' straight to camera, or an interview.

As a freelance cameraman, I've discovered that straight-to-camera interviews can be really tricky.
