After learning this week’s reading, I found it is not easy to do a interview.

Interview is a communicating process between interviewer and interviewee. The interaction of them is significant. Thus, both of them need to be control.

For interviewer, preparation is the basic. Before the interview, interviewer are supposed to decide the purpose in this interview. After  that, he should do lots of research and writes the questions he truely wants to ask. Then he can find the interviewee who can fit in this subject.

As a interviewer, he is supposed control the whole process, such as emotion of participant and himself, the direction of questions and the set of interview. For example, when a interviewer interview a group, he should notice that individuals may be influence by the group and makes a good control. When he preparing questions, do more opening questions instead of closing questions. In the process of interview, interviewer should make notes when his participants say something that he can use in film.

There are lots of shooting size can be chosen in interview’s process, such as wide shot, medium shot, close shot and extremely close shot. The content how much they express of different shooting size is different. Like wide shot almost give the whole content of the sense. However, close up only focus on details. Using the change of shooting size flexibly can make the interview more interesting.
