Introduction
What is an interview?
In this assignment I will be looking three different types of interviews:
information, emotional and interpretive interview.
what is an interview? A interview is a meeting which is held by a
interviewee. The person interviewing the interview. Most common
interview held are interview for jobs. However in not looking at interviews
for jobs I'm looking at interviews to do with media. I'm looking at the
following types of interview : Informational ,emotional and interpretive
For example
Some interview are taken in place to get information about certain
aspects. These types of interview are normally emotional . Emotional
interview are interview normally about celebrities' and there life .

Informative interview:
Maleficent: Angelina Jolie "Maleficent" Official Movie Interview
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwP23IaAEM0
Interview 1
I chose this interview because its and informative interview. The interview is about Angelina Jolie taking about the experience she
had while making maleficent and how she felt playing her. This interview is an example of an informational interview.
This interview is like a vox pop but in way it is not a vox pop. You can only see Angelina not the interview however you ca hear the
interviewers voice when he asks Angelina a question. In this interview Angelina is asked open questions about how she felt paying
the role of maleficent some of the questions used are suggestive which lead into the question. For example: 2i know you said
maleficent was a sense of your childhood.” here the interview is leading Angelina's reply I to the answer.
The interview is listening care fully and is investigating into the interview and his asking her questions related to the answers that
Angelina is giving. There is not introduction of both Angelina or the interview through out the entire interview. The interview stars by
the interviewer asking Angelina the question “I know you said maleficent was a sense of your childhood. If you can tell me what it was
like to bring her to life, and if it was sad for you to say goodbye to her?
Angelina looks very confident in the interview the way she is sitting like she's in a professional interview she has contact with her
interviewer. Whereas you can only hear the interviewers voice but he does sound confident. The question are mostly based on
maleficent but the last few question are about one of the co actors (Elle Fanning) that worked with Angelina. The interview
summarises by asking Angelina what do u think about Elle Fanning and how she played the role of Aurora. Angelina summarises in a
few sentences about Elle how she's naive and a if full of light. It’s quite interesting how the interview start about maleficent end by
looking the character of Aurora and the actor who played her (Elle Fanning)
the interviewer winds up the interview with e few link saying generic interview complete it a very simple wind up still there was not
information given about who the interviewer was or the actor. But due to the reason Angelina is well known actress.
I would assume this is a television interview or a online interview.
The purpose of the interview is to let the audience know how the actor felt while playing the role of maleficent

Interpretive interview:
Paxman vs. Brand

Interview 3
An interpretive is an interview that discuss important topics. Most common interpretive interview is an
political interview. I choose this interview as an example of an interpretive interview. Because this interview is
very powerful. This interview is for a news show I'm not quite sure what news channel. The interview is about
Russell brand and Paxman discussing why Brand has to question the whole political system. Brand wants a
revolution and Paxman disagrees with brand.
Jeremy Paxman is a very famous reporter who is known for his
Paxman ask Russell very powerful. Paxman ask both open, closed and suggestive questions. In away Paxman is
trying to confuse Brand. But Brand is playing clever and trying to answer the question cleverly. Both Paxman
and Brand are very self centred people. Putting these to characters together was a very clever idea which is
why the interview is powerful. Which is why the topic is discussed to its upmost detail.
The interview starts with a question thrown out there. Paxman ask Russell “ who are you to edit a political
magazine.” there is no introduction given of who the characters are. Due to the reason both characters are
very well known
