Interview Style for Interview One

What will your interview style be? (formal, informal and chatty, intense, questioning,
argumentative, friendly, jokey)
The style of my interview is that it will be formal, however still quite chatty and friendly.

Why have you chosen that style?

I have chosen this style as I want my guests to feel comfortable and relaxed. This will work well as
I want the guest to be able to chat between them and keep the show and conversation flowing so
that the audience are always engaged and dont lose focus. It is important that the guests also do
this and keep interested so that the audience can do the same.

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

The Graham Norton show is a good example of an interview, chat show made in a similar style as
there is still an interview conducted with in the episode however it is done in a casual way. This
means that the question asked often make a good conversation, this keeps the show and guests
flowing and talking off each other to make it more entertaining, interesting and entertaining.

Production Booklet

Define the structural progression of Interview One

eg introduction, leading questions, progressive questions,
summary
What questions will you ask and when?

Introduction
Progressive questions
Summary

Introduction the introduction will start by understanding what the interview will be about,
firstly I will introduce myself and the interviewee then begin to understand how Emily must
have felt when she was diving, this is how I will introduce the sport and get to know Emily a
bit more and understand how she feels about her sport.

Progression questions I will build confidence in the interviewee by talking about her
achievements and understanding what is was like and how it felt to achieve this being so
young? This will get the interviewee talking about her achievements and begin to feel proud
and comfortable.

Information after talking about their achievements and getting the interviewee
comfortable talking I will then start into why she stopped diving and the other details about
why and how her diving career ended. This I will do in a series of more serious questions to
understand more about the pressure, costs and school that could affected her diving.

Summary to summarise my interview I will end by asking whether or not she will go back
to diving and find out what she doing now instead. This is a good way to end as it rounds up
through her career to if she will go back and what she wants in the feature.

Define the format of your programme

What will happen in the first segment?
In the first segment of our show the show host will introduce the show and the guests. They will tell the
audience who the guests are and say a plan of the show they are about to watch, with all the content of the
show, for example, there will be games, Alice attempting to play tennis and interviews with our guests.

What will happen in the second segment?

In the second segment it will follow on to the pre-recorded interviews on our guests to find out more about
them and their sports, after that the host will talk to them about the content of their interview and what was
said, any funny comments can happen. The guests talk about it to each other and discuss injuries.

What will happen in the third segment?

In the third segment there will be two games, these will be interactive team games with two on each team,
and the host will ask questions and control the game. They get points for each answer to a questions and a
bonus point if they can throw the small ball in to the bucket. This will be fun for the audience and guests
and be entertaining.

Any further notes;

The guests will not be scripted at all therefore they can talk and react off each other to make it funnier and
more natural.

Using your mind map, answer the following questions.

What will the presentation style be? (formal, informal and chatty)
The presenting style of my show will be quite informal and chatty. I want it to be like this because the show
is not serious it is an entertaining game show. There will be more formal pre-recorded interviews however
in the live show it will be chatty and un scripted for the guests so that they can work off each other. This will
work well as it will be chatty and funny for the audience and wont be boring.

Links
How will you link each interview to each other?
(You may use cut aways to clips of them doing something relevant. Remember you will all be
swapping roles so you may not be able to film live at this point.)

Link between interview 1 and Interview 2

The link between interview 1 and 2 is that the first is of Emilys diving career and about her life when
she was diving and the strains on her body. Then it will go back to the studio where, there will be a
group discussion on different injuries people have had. This then leads to the second interview of
Luke as he has had many injuries playing hockey.

Link between interview 2 and Interview 3

After Lukes interview then it goes back to the studio and some pictures of Luke are shown. Then it
goes to Richies interview on injuries and other specifics of his sport.
