I went ghost hunting a couple weeks ago and got some interviews to put together a short documentary of the place. I only had 1 on camera LED light which I hand held off to the side during the interviews. The main interview was iso 3200 and the others were 800, so you can notice a difference in grain/noise. Just thought id show you guys some cheap interview shots and ask for advice for future videos like this.

Very well done. Not sure if its what you are going for, but I couldn't really tell the difference between this, and something that would be shown on Discovery Channel or History Channel.

Only thing I found to be an issue is some of the text, particularly the parts involving names/job descriptions, would become hard to read depending on the background. Most likely due to the thinness of the font. Maybe try adding a black glow to the font, so that it always has a black backdrop, and will stand out more?
 
I had a cheap night vision camera that overheated and the image was terrible so i ended up making it more of a documentary than a ghost investigation. This was the first of many so I appreciate the feedback, im learning its best to ask graphic designers about things like titles, text and graphics so thanks for the tip on the font!
