Simpsons 20th anniversary special in 3D on ice part 1
- Conventional shots are simple ones e.g. mid shot, mid close up
- Mise en scene - Pictures of realted topic in the background e.g. there were pictures of the simpsons and jaws and even things that were related to the specific person e.g. the incredibles were in the background of one interview
- The simpsons documentery is a different to the jaws ones because it has a presenter who talks directly to the audicence
- Cutaways are used to cut the footage up or directly links to what the interviewee is talking about e.g. there are clips from both the jaws and the simpsons and there is a photograph of Stephen Spielberg when they're talking about his directing. These MUST be directly related to what the interviewee is talking about or the audience will be confused. Clips can also fill gaps between different interviewees.They are also used to avoid jump cuts.
- Rule of thirds - The interviewee is usually at eyeline level.
- The interviewee is either on the left or right side of the shot and it usually switches from right to left each time it changes person.
- The interviewee must be looking at the interviewer rather than into the camera so if the interviewee is sat down (which they usually are) then the interviewer must also be sat down so the interviewee isn't looking up. The interviewer must also sit close to the camera to the side so the interviewee isn't looking into the camera.The light must be behind the interviewer so there's no glare e.g. no windows behind the interviewee
- The interviewee should be asked to say the question within his answer so the audience know what he is talking about and we dont have to hear interviewer speak.
- Sometimes aspects of the interviewee are filmed by a second camera e.g. big close up of hands or eyes.
- The lighting is usually artificial because it's easier to control and avoid a glare however if natural light is used it musn't be behind the interviewee.
