DOCUMENTARY FILM INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUES

Have you ever wondered how documentary filmmakers manage to get their subjects to open up their personal lives on camera? There is nothing more absorbing than seeing people talk about their deepest felt passions and convictions.

There is a great degree of skill and dedication involved on the part of the interviewer in getting interviewees to comfortably talk with a camera facing them and recording everything they say.

In this course you will learn some of the techniques you can use to unlock your interviewee and give you, the filmmaker, those gems that will allow you to develop a strong documentary narrative.

The focus is on how to do in-depth documentary interviews successfully. How do you approach the interviewee and more importantly how does an interviewer get an interviewee to open up in an interview, something that is essential if you are going to get to the heart of the story. Successful interviewing depends on the rapport that an interviewer established with the interviewee. And this is no easy task. This course gives you a set of guidelines that, if followed correctly, will deliver a deeper and more meaningful interview.
