People are more themselves when they forget you're there
Was going through old footage this afternoon and there's a stretch where the subject's standing at a bus stop, thinks the camera's off, and just lets her shoulders drop. That's the real person. It's the same reason I watch how strangers behave in elevators — nobody performs when the ride's only ten seconds.

That's the thing I keep coming back to in depositions — the pause before the answer is the most honest part. Nobody rehearses their silence. Your bus stop subject probably said more in that dropped shoulder than in the whole stretch of footage before it.
