>Every documentary has a Author, Producer, Directir, Screenwriter, Editor, Designer.
>When an interview takes place, the interviewee's eyeline is always in the middle, however they do not look directly at the camera. This shows that the interviwee is looking at the interviewer and not directly at the camera.
>Also when an interview takes place, if the interviewer is placed on the right, the interviewee will be placed on the left, and vice versa.
>They are filmed either in medium shot, medium close up or close up angles.
>The positioning of the interviewee is important, and also has to be as close to the camera as possible.
>The questions that are asked by the interviewer are edited out when watching the documentary.
>The mise en scene that is used such as the boards behind the interviee's, provides more information about occupation and the environment.
>If there is a light source coming from behind the interviewee, they choose to block this out so that the light source is always coming from the front.
>Cut away shots are used, whilst the interviewee is still talking and is showing maybe a part of the film, this breaks up the interview to avoid jump cuts.
>Cut away shots are either:
*Archive Material
*Suggested by something said in the interview and therefore filmed after the interview
*Aspects of the interviewee are filmed with another camera, such as extreme close up of eyes, mouth hands and used as cutaways
>Graphics are also used to anchor who the person on screen is and their relevance to the topic of the documentary.
To get this information, we looked at documentary extracts in class, these were:
