Setting Up an Interview


How To Set Up An Interview

 Step By Step:

  • Make sure your camera is set up before the interviewee is there. For example the '180 degree rule' 


  • Eye contact is key in keeping the interviewee relaxed and comfortable. 
  • Natural flowing convocation, nodding, asking questions, smiling and give them time to answer.



How I Would Frame The Shot

 I would use a medium close-up shot with a plane background. This is because there would be noting in the background to distract the audience. The medium close up shot because the interviewee will fill the screen. I would shoot at eye level this is because, the interviewer, interviewee and camera will be at a neutral level. 
Floor Plan

1 Guest, 1 Camera

In this simple case the interviewer and guest are given the same framing and appear with equal prominence. This is useful if you aren't sure who will be doing most of the talking, or if the talk-time is spread evenly between the interviewer and guest.
It is a fairly casual setting, especially suitable for less formal interviews.

Definition: The same 8 charters appear in every story tail. These are, The Hero, The Villain, the Dispatcher, The Helper, The Princess, The Princesses Father, The Donator and The False Hero.

The Helper: They help the 'Hero' achieve their task. The Princess: Who the 'Hero' is looking to marry and or rescuer. They can either be a prize as well.

Multi Choice Game

The Walking Dead - Game  The Walking Dead has a interactive storyline which makes the game more fun, this is because the choices you make will verdantly effect you in the future. From small choices such as, "Say hello" or "Ask whats happening" to "Help Duck" or "Help Shaun". This makes the player feel so much more involved into the story line. There are a maximum of four options to choose at one time but can be three or two. Through the interactivity you can grow close to other  characters, or become distant from them.

Applying Media Theorys To My Media Project

1A. Props Character Theory In Alice's story she had some of the characters from  Vladimir Propp's Theory, these being the hero ,the villain, the helper ,the donor and the princess. Alice is represented as the princess and the hero because she doesn't want to drink the alcohol and drinks water: Princess. Because you follow Alice's journey she represents Hero.  in addition Alice informs the other characters they should be in class. Henry is the villain because he spikes her drink with a drug and also Punches her. Callum plays the helper because he comes to the aid of her when she is pushed furthermore he invites Alice to the party this also makes him be the donor. The production does use some of the characters, but on the other hand not all of the character types are used, this is because the crew used, was not big enough to cover all characters. 1B. Todrovo's Theory My story has the same equilibrium/ disruption/ new equilibrium structure that Todrovo outlines
