Interview Techniques:
|
Here is an interview for Les Misérables, the new musical that has now come to cinema screens. This particular interview has the cast: Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried and more.
This interview however, is to promote the new musical, they're being questioned by the interviewer who is asking of the film. He asks each actor questions and they actors respond. This is again promotion. The way the have shot this, is expensive ie: the way the have decided to show the Les Mis logo to the side of the actors and that of the interviewer. |

This is like the one above. This interview however is for The Hobbit, An Unexpected Journey. This again has the actors of the film being asked promotional questions for the upcoming launch of the film. I particularly like the backdrop in which they have used. It is rather mystical and is really interesting.
This would also have been used to promote the film, and this would have also been quite expensive to do so. I also like the way the interviewer asks the question the camera is on him / her when they ask. Then they camera switches round to the interviewee so we can see their reaction to the question they have just been asked. |

This is an arty type interview, where someone is asking Mark Crilley (Manga Artist, Author) questions about his work. This has been split into three separate interviews. These aren't rather long interviews the first is the longest but, as it has lots of information about how Mark became an artist.
This interview is full of information. However, these particular interviews don't look to be expensive, as it looks to be shot in a classroom or something along them lines.

This interview has a lot of physical movement, in which the interviewer is going through and talking about the artwork. This is quite interesting as it has an arty interview feel to it, and that's quite typical with this sort of interviewing.
This doesn't look like it was quite expensive to make as it doesn't look as professional as the first two interviews. |

This interview is for Gamescon 2010, I quite like this interview as it seems quite clean and really modern with the use of b-roll footage. I also like the way the interviewer uses the Gamescon logo to ask the question, then once the subject get asked the question directly to them, it quickly changed to their face which is really professional and modern.
I think that this interview wouldn't have been really expensive, however I do think it would have cost a lot of money to get the editing correct with the b-roll footage as well. |
Vox Populi:
One useful source of news is a vox pop. This is where journalists or special researchers go out into the street to ask members of the public for their views on matters of current public concern.
There are several different types of vox pop. "Vox pop" is a useful name, but it is jargon - that is, it is only to be used among journalists, because readers and listeners will not know what the term means. Call it a vox pop in the office, but call it a survey in the paper or on air. A "Vox pop" is an abbreviation of vox populi which is Latin for "the voice of the people" (vox = voice, from which English gets words like "vocal"; populi from populus = the people, from which English gets words like "popular" and "population"). |
The question asked at the beginning of this Vox Pop is "What do you and your friends watch on TV?"
I like quite liked the opening part of this video where you can see the question at the beginning and they have each person answer the question with their own opinions. I also liked that they brought the persons age onto the screen too, however that could be intimidating for some of the people being involved. In the beginning of this particular vox pop, they haven't given you the source of the question, like in the first one. They simply have the question at the title on the YouTube video. However, one women states the word 'Powerless' and then it starts from there. I quite liked this as it drew my attention by the title of 'When have you felt powerless?', I thought that it was an emotional vox pop which I thought was rather interesting.
