Film language and production- interview basics of basics

Things to consider in an interview.

Body Language of the interviewer

• Well this

 

Is different from this

In the first we can see someone that’s not really sure of something, it’s boring, and sure give us the idea that what he’s listening is not interesting (in this moment during a interview you lost the audience)

The second picture shows us a confident women, the first thing we may think when we see her, is that she’s going to tell us something important, maybe something even interesting.

And sure EVERYTHING is different from this!

 

But this is a different kinds of interview!

 The interviewer should

Sit up straight, and lean slightly forward in his chair.

Show enthusiasm by keeping an interested expression. Nod and make positive gestures (the nodding scene)

Establish a comfortable amount of personal space between him and the interviewer. Should avoid invading personal space (because it could make the interviewer feel uncomfortable and take the focus away from the conversation).

The interviewer should create a first time strong connection with the audience. He can do that with a simple stare at the camera.  

This will tell the audience that they are reliable and will be talking something serious, this simple gesture of looking directly into the camera can make the news pivot the most believable people on television    

The background is important; it has to be interesting, but not too much, because it can’t draw the attention from the interview and, if possible something with we can establish with the interview, you are not going to make a pink background with unicorns if you are interviewing the Uk heavyweight champion of boxing. But a poster of him holding the title, or a ring its OK.

Make the background one with the interview!!

There are a lot of important technical details you have to look out for, hot image(to much white, brightness ), boom shadows,  sound, lights, framing(the image cannot be to tight, it as to have space between the head and the ceiling.)
