The Documentary Interview
02:05
Interviews are one of the most powerful tools in any film maker's kit. But asking questions doesn't always come naturally, and asking probing or personal questions can seem incredibly awkward. This course will prepare you to conduct interviews smoothly and professionally in order to tell a documentary story. You will learn about the ethics of the documentary interview, the best techniques to use (both soft skills and technical), and how to ensure that your interviewees give their very best.
