Through my previous interview experience and interview practice I had in class, I think both the interviewer and the interviewee are very important, one needs patient guidance and the other needs to express their own thoughts well.

Before the interview, I prefer to give my prepared interview questions to the interviewee before the interview get started. Although this would make the interviewee behave like an actor, but it would reduce interviewer’s nervousness during the interview. In addition, before the interview get started, I would also ask them where do they want to do the interview. I think the environment will effect how well they perform in the interview. at the beginning of interview, a little conversation with interviewer would help them out from awkwardness.

Other questions about the device, a video camera is obviously not enough, unless we do a simple vox pop, if we want to do a formal interview, we will need at least two, a fixed camera captures the interviewee, another camera capture the details of the interviewee, such as he dressed today, body language, facial expressions, make the interviewee in the film more stereo. We should use the Professional radio equipment to receive sound, so as not to cause noise. If it is in the form of vox pop, zoom recorder can be used, which will be more convenient for recording sound.

In general, the interview is a process that requires an in-depth communication between the interviewer and the interviewee, so as to achieve the best interview effect, and the group also needs to cooperate, so as to achieve the best effect.
