Brief introduc=on to the interviews and the Techniques and Purposes of interviews

EMEPLAR

There are a range of different programmes that feature interviews, news programmes, entertainment programmes, documentaries and more. With all interviews, there is a purpose, and depending on its purpose, an interview will use a technique that works best to fulfil its purpose. For example, if an interview is to provide informa=on on the latest album from Adele, it is likely that the format will be an entertainment programme as the subject is promo=onal and therefore you would expect techniques such as confidence building, because such a ‘high profile’ celebrity is on your show, meaning you will get high audience figures. Therefore interview techniques are very reliant on the genre of the programme.

Introduc=on START with the types/genre of programmes that interviews are in, which, of course, are all FACTUAL TV programmes.
