Creating an interview

1. Choose suitable location
2. Don't fiddle with the camera or look at the script as it is distracting for the interviewee.
3. Make eye contact with each other.
4. The interviewer should just nod and not talk over the interviewee.
5. Sound interested.
6. Check the background.
7. Give yourself plenty of time.
8. Be respectful.


The 180 degree rule

Its where the camera can't go across the line in the centre of a scene otherwise it would confuse the audience and make everything look like they just switched sides. 

Framing

The rule of thirds is where the subject is positioned in the golden section/centre and you need to have a gap at the top of the subject so it doesn't look unnatural or as if the person is wearing something on their head. 

Eyeline

The ideal eyeline shot is in the middle because if its too high it can make the interviewee look more vulnerable and if its too low it will make the interviewer look subservient. This middle point is called the natural eyeline.
