Interview Techniques

Obviously interviewing someone for television is entirely different to writing an interview for a magazine but there are some features and skills that are transferable:

Ellie Goulding Interview:





What i have discovered from looking at spoken television interviews is that the majority of modern day interviews are extremely casual and colloquial. Although the questions are scripted it is clear that the people doing the interviews on both ocassions sometimes make the questions up on the spot. I will have to ensure that my magazine interview appears to be conversational and comfortable rather than an interrogation.
