2. -A roll footage- interviews with people important to he subject- usually filmed with
camera on a tripod
-Interviews are framed using the rule of thirds
-The interviewer often doesn't not feature; questions are edited out
-The subject looks across the camera at the interviewer, not at the camera
-The subjects face is lit from the front, not from behind- never in front of a window
-Background mise en scene is organised to reflect topic or personality of the subject
-Graphics showing the names of the subjects and other relevant information are
positioned at the bottom of the screen
-Blue screen/chroma-key may be used to put relevant images behind the subject
-Different interviews are filmed using different shot sizes and framing to provide
variety (eg. Medium shot, head on the left => close up, head on right, etc)
3. -B-roll Footage is used to supplement the main
interview footage, edited together between
interviews sometimes in a creative montage
4. Cutaway shots are inserted into interview
footage to illustrate what the subject is
talking about
