- Rule Of Thirds
The person being interviewed should not be in the middle of the camera shot but to the left or the right of the frame. Also their eyes should be looking towards the interviewer on the opposite side so if the interviewee is on the right they should be looking towards the left. As the interviewee is on the side, the mise en scene should reflect the topic they're talking about. At the bottom left of the shot, the name of the interviewee should come up so the audience know who they are.
