The document summarizes techniques used in several football player interviews. It notes that low camera angles are often used to emphasize the subjects' successful careers and authority. Interviews of Didier Drogba and Rio Ferdinand included footage of Drogba playing to make the clip feel more atmospheric. Paul Pogba and Thierry Henry's interview showed them moving at a training ground, with a stable camera to emphasize the movement. Zlatan Ibrahimovic's interview placed him off-center to symbolize his unconventional personality and controversial statements.
Interview research/media
- 2. ? I first watched an interview between Didier Drogba and Rio Ferdinand, two iconic figures of English football. Through out the interview the cameraman maintains a low angle shot mainly at Drogba, however alters the attention by also filming the interviewer, Rio Ferdinand. The low angle shot emphasises on the successful careers that both of these individuals have had; perceiving them as a high authority. ? They also use a shot of both participants at a more levelled angle to connotate that they have had an equally successful footballing career. ? Also in the interview they showed footage of Didier Drogba playing football as well as important moments in his career. This footage also contains the audio from the match which makes the clip seem more atmospheric.
- 3. ? I then watched an interview between Paul Pogba and Thierry Henry. ? At the start of this interview, they include a lot of clips of the two individuals meeting, with a slow motion effect added to it. ? The camera looks as if it was used with a monopod as it is relatively stable footage with slight movements. They applied this effect as they are located in the training ground, where Manchester United prepare for the following matches. This training facility would have experienced a lot of movement and exercise, which is what they are trying to connotate by avoiding a stable interview where no movement is shown. ? Also, both of the participants in the shot are moving around, and therefore the cameraman is trying to emphasise this movement by also moving. ? Like the pervious video, they also use low angle shots to manipulate the high authority that these two individuals have.
- 4. ? This is a very unique interview between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the interviewer. The camera is placed on a tripod, a stable, simplistic interview. ? The cameraman uses a low angle close up shot of Zlatan, in an off centre position. By Ibrahimovic being placed slightly more to the left, the viewer will feel on edge and possibly uncomfortable. This positioning could symbolise his footballing career as he is already established as one of the greatest strikers of all time, however he has been known for having an unorthodox personality. Over the years he has made many controversial statements that has given mixed opinions, which is symbolised here with his positioning in the interview. ? This video is very simplistic because the interview is all from one shot. It doesn¡¯t feature footballing clips, transitions, or movements. Also the camera angle remains the same through out. Saying this, these could have been applied as the producer is trying to make the viewer listen to Zlatan, without focusing on any other aspect of the interview. In conclusion, the interviewer wants to capture these unusual views and perceptions that Zlatan has, making this interview extremely effective.
