Codes and conventions of filming and editing interviews

The interviewee is framed either right or left of the camera, in this case they are filmed to his right. Also the mise en scene is appropriate for the interview because it is about sharks and he is in front of an ocean.
 
The interviewee must look at the interviewer and not the camera. If the interviewee looks at the camera it would not feel correct because it is not the audience that has asked the question even though the questions are edited out.
 
Interviews use graphics, they normally do this to introduce the interviewee to the audience.
 

They use Cut aways of archive material to break up interviews and illistrate what they are talking about, this is to avoid jump cuts when questions are edited out. In this case it is the front cover of a film poster.
 


Almost all interviewees are filmed in a medium shot, sometimes medium close up, they are also never filmed with light behind them as in almost all interviews they have a appropriate back drop which relates to the interview.
 

 
This is another example of appropriate mise en scene and a medium shot. The mise en scene relates to the interview as it is about The Simpsons and the characters of that programme are behind him while he is being interviewed. This is a correct example of content being linked to the subject topic.
