An interview technique I may try in my interviews for my final task

Today I reviewed Panorama by BBC and during the episode 'is the cloud damaging the planet', I found an extremely odd yet interesting interview technique. This technique consisted of an over-the-shoulder shot from the interviewee, to show the interviewer's reaction and facial expressions to the responses to the questions. I have taken a still to analyze.


I found this technique extremely interesting as it is not often shown, usually, all focus is on the interviewee, however, this is definitely an interview technique that I will consider in my final task.

I feel as if this interview technique would really work in my second interview, in particular as I will be talking about the solutions to mental health. I believe it really helps the audience to picture the emotion in the image.

This is the sort of style of establishing shot that I would wish to create. I believe it really creates a sense of calm among the audience. ...
