Purpose of Interview 1:

What is the purpose of this interview?


We hope the interview with Jayne Davis will give the residents of Henley more information about
what type of person she is and they can get to know her, to see what type of person that is
teaching their kids.

Circle which of the following formats it will be;


Lifestyle magazine article
Lifestyle television or radio Programme article
Television or radio documentary
Childrens news website
Commercial blog
Local television news
National radio news,
Reality television contestants

Add research demonstrating the format of this interview (ie a magazine layout, or an interview chat
show on TV)

Below is a interview with Bradly Cooper on the Johnathan Ross show, they use a lot of the same
styles that I want to use in my interview, it is very chatty and funny but also very informative, by
doing this you keep the audience engaged because they like to laugh but also they are learning
things about him and his movies.

the camera operator in there.

Question: How can people help?

Interview Style for Interview One

Production Booklet

What will your interview style be? (Formal, informal and chatty, intense, questioning,
argumentative, friendly, jokey)
My interview is going to be questioning but not in an aggressive way, I want him to feel I am
supportive of his cause and he should be relaxed so I want to make it a bit chatty.

Why have you chosen that style?


When the interviewee is relaxed they answer the questions as they would if they were not on
camera and this is what we are going for, we want it to be a friendly informative local news show
that tell the residents what is going on in their town.

Add research of other interview/chat shows where the presenter has a similar style. You can insert
another page here for your research.
