The article examines formal nonverbal communication and analyses the key means of such interaction between a journalist and an operator. The article also describes the character gestures most commonly used during a video shooting. The research is relevant as there is no universal list of character gestures helping to break down the distance barrier in communication between a cameraman and a journalist working on an editorial assignment. The study contributes to theoretical knowledge and practical skills relevant to nonverbal interaction that increases the effectiveness of a camera crew’s performance at the event scene; and the aim of the observation is to identify and describe the means of nonverbal communication during event videos. The article describes the character gestures that are most widespread among camera crews. The crews commonly use character gestures created with fingers or arm movements. The most popular gestures, namely forefinger up, placing the wrists to make the letter «T», and a circular wrist movement with a forefinger up, inform a cameraman about specific professional actions. The work of a camera crew is complex and unlooked-for. The experts assert that the work is facilitated through cooperation with a cameraman and drawing his/her attention to the issues relevant to the video. As camera crews lack time for verbal communication, they make use of nonverbal interaction, where character gestures facilitate the effective task accomplishment. Therefore, interaction through character gestures during a video shooting is an essential element of teamwork and making a quality video content.
