Writing Style: how to interview

Writing Style: how to interview

September 22, 2015 teacherlab 0 2389

The interview, which is simultaneously a news item and a commentary, has some particularly special characteristics.

Traditionally, the interview consists of presenting a lifestyle, customs, ideas, and other elements of a character, of which the public only partly knows. Actors, politicians, writers, scientists; they all talk about the most important information about their field of work, the environment that surrounds them, their friends, or simply about their private life. The reason for these interviews is that people want to know their favorite characters up close.

The interviewer should study what the interviewee has done or written. He should try to find out everything that’s been said about the character, so he can get better results, ask more concise questions, and ask more interesting things. This helps both the interviewer and interviewee get more comfortable and familiar, which enriches the interview, because they get more sincere and spontaneous results.

Even if the interviewer is sure that most people know the interviewee, it’s still better to write a small introduction in the first few lines, just in case any readers don’t know the identity of the character. Then, the interviewer needs to know how to properly represent the interviewee’s image, capturing it in its most revealing and authentic angles, which, for the same reason, will be the most interesting parts of his personality. The writer should also know how to describe the environment surrounding the interviewee, highlighting his most characteristic features and lastly, presenting everything simply and dynamically, making the interview more eloquent for all the readers.
