Codes & Conventions of filming & editiong interviews

We watched documentaries on Jaws & The Simpsons and made notes on how they use the codes & conventions of filming & editing interviews.








Questions edited out.

Informal dress.

Footage from film.

Anchorage text to show audience interviewee title.

Cut away shots to still image, animation, to break up the interview. To avoid jump cuts when questions are edited out. Also usually archive footage, or a clip which is suggested by something said in interview and therefore filmed after the interview.

Interviewee eyeline upper third of screen.

Interviewee positioned to 1 side of the camera, interviewer is positioned on the opposite side of the camera to the interviewee.

Backdrop relates to what the interviewee is talking about. This provides the viewer with more information about their occupation and environment.

No light source from behind the interviewee.

Quick Cuts.

Past Tense.
