Blog Post 18- How To Film Interviews

 Interviews are often set up threw a tripod with intentional backgrounds, to go further into depth, the reason for this is too keep the audience focused on one thing, or the most important thing. This can be shown in almost all interviews espically in documentaries. In the video i have provided it gives a perfect example how this interview is set up, the camera is being propped up either way to face the peron who is speaking there is little to no camera movement and this is strictly to undirectly tell the audience where and what they should be paying attention to. Another thing to point out is the background, the people speaking are in what looks like an interviewing room in a jail, considering they are talking to a criminal this makes sense and it adds a sense of logic for the directed audience. The interviewing starts around 8 minutes into the video. 

i can use this in my interview to create a large sense of logic to my piece. For my interviewing section i would propp up a camera so it was a steadicam and settle the interview there, and have it infront of a important part of the navy bas, more likley a ship or part of it. An example can be this picture below where the camera is propped up and the background is one of the many navy bases.
