Creating An Interview


When creating an interview there are many steps and rules suggested to follow. Some of these are:

-The 180 degree rule:

This is where cameras must remain on one side of an imagery line, because if there are cameras on both sides when putting the images together it will appear that someone has changed positions or moved when they have not.

  

-Eye contact:

Eye contact is extremely important when interviewing someone as is gives the person being interviewed somewhere to look. If the interviewer does not keep eye contact the person being interviewed may look into the camera or look around which is bad, if they are looking into the camera whilst being asked questions by someone in the room it appears quite odd to anyone watching the interview.


 -Only speak when needed:

When interviewing someone you only really want to be talking when actually asking the questions. Apart from that, when the person being interviewed is answering your question just nod to give them reassurance that you are listening.
-Framing the shot:

 When filming the person being interviewed you want to make sure they are in the centre of you shot. You want to have a small gap between the top of their head and the top of the frame, and also the majority of the time you want to be zoomed in enough to only really see their shoulders and face. This is known as a medium close up shot;

(Note, you also want to make sure the camera is at the same height as the person being interviewed as this appears the best. If the camera is above it makes the seem child like and if it is below it makes the person being interviewed appear odd.)

FISHEYE LENS: The fisheye lens can sometimes appear like a normal lens, however the majority of the time it appears to poke outwards slightly. The fisheye provides an almost stretched angle allowing you to see more in the cameras peripheral vision, almost like when you look through a peep whole in a door which means images can appear bent on stretched in the corners of the image or video. From owning one myself I know they are delicate and slightly expensive, especially when it comes to fisheye lenses such as the one shown up to a high standard. I chose the fisheye lens as I have past experience with them through skateboarding as it is the most popular lens used to film the sport as it captures more of the action, whilst allowing the filmier to record from a close range.
