Codes And Conventions of Filming and Editing
People being interviewed, framed in a medium shot, medium close up or close up.
Interviewees framed to left or right of the screen. To show a range of shots when having more than one interviewee.
Framing with the rule of thirds. Eyeline is a third of the way down the frame.
Interviewees looking at the interviewer, not the camera.
If the interviewee is on the RIGHT the interviewer is on the LEFT, and the likewise.
Mise en scene, the background reinforces the content of the interview.
Interviews are never filmed with the light behind, the light is always in front of the interviewee.
Questions the interviewees are being asked, are edited out.
Cutaways are put into interviews for two reasons: 1. To break up the interviewand to illistrate what the interviewee is talking about.
2. To avoid jump cuts when questions are edited out
Cutaways are either: 1. Archive material
2. Suggested by something said in the interview and therefore filmed after the interview.
3. Sometimes aspects of the interviewee are filmed with another camera, such as exstream close ups of eyes, mouths and hands and used as cutaways
Graphics are used to anchor who the person on screen is and their revelance to the topic of the document
