Creating an Interview
Interviews -
1 ) Be careful with your time - by appearing rushed, you will make the interviewee feel potentially nervous and uncomfortable resulting in a lack of results. 2 ) Find the best place to film - before placing the camera anywhere in the room, look around the room and observe to find the best place to record the interview. 3 ) Maintain comfort - ensure that you maintain a good channel of communication between you and the interviewee to help the interviewee remain comfortable. By doing so, you will help the interviewee with answering your questions and their answers will be improved. 4 ) Maintain eye contact - the interviewee shouldn't be staring straight down the camera lens. By giving a good level of eye contact, looks better from the camera view and helps the interviewee feel a lot more comfortable. 5 ) Show interest - by showing interest you are helping the interviewee with their answers. They are more likely to give you more information which will provide you with better results, concluding with a better interview overall.
180 Degree Rule -
This rule basically is an imaginary line that is there to show that you must not cross this line. If you were to cross this line then it would appear, from the audience's view, that the people being filmed are now facing the opposite way. So the 180 degree rule will help maintain a professional interview and stop the audience from getting confused. In this example below, we can see that we should keep the cameras and all of the footage from one side of the participants. This line must not be crossed.
With framing, it is best to follow the rule of thirds which is where we should try and keep the interviewees face. If it's too central, it is seen as less professional. We must left a fair amount of a gap above the participants face due to the fact it wouldn't look right for the audience if it is perfectly align to the top of their head. Also ensure focus is aligned properly. Poor focus will result in a poor interview when broadcasted to the audience.

Eye line -
When positioning the camera, we have to ensure that the camera is in line with the interviewee's eyes which helps keep the interviewee engaged and comfortable to the interview. By having the camera placed above their heads, makes them feel uncomfortable and childish in a way. It will make them feel like they are being observed in an uncomfortable way. Then by placing the camera too low, will make them feel powerful in a sense. This is definitely not wanted during the filming process as the candidate will be seen as very powerful from the audience.
