Empire podcast: The three favours cornetto trilogy
Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and the interviewer are overlapping each other and they are casually talking about their experiences and how they feel, now that the trilogy is done. They were laid back and there was a lighthearted atmosphere. The interview is for entertainment purposes in and Simon and Edgar keep cutting in on each others answers. There was no immediate structure because the interviewer does not ask first Simon then Edgar, he just aims the question at both of them because they have done a lot of films together. They talk about how they met through friends of friends and who influenced their discussions through the filming process. There are open, direct and follow up questions. they have written a lot of films and series together and they compare different films and their thinking behind the films, 'Shawn Of The Dead', 'Hot Fuzz' and 'The World's End'. Apart from the first five minutes you would not think it was a Podcast.

BBC Radio 4: Today
Formal and structured, the interviewer polity attacks the Facebook UK team for refusing an interview. Direct and open questions are used. The interview was in a way an excuse to attack at the social network site for not taking better precautions over what is allowed onto their website. In my opinion there was a opinion shared by both the interviewer and the MP that Facebook was not doing a good job of keeping irrelevant content off the website. An Mp is combating Facebook for not taking down all the images and he has a calm voice. Everyone is talking in a calm manner because they are trying not to let their emotional get in the way. Elizabeth, ex Facebook employer is defending Facebook since she worked for them. She answers the questions in a calm and collected manner.

Jimmy Carr on BBC 4
Calm conversation
Entertainment
He is talking about the jokes he tells. He is says that people are taking offense from how the joke makes they feel and not the joke itself, people always forgets what he said. The interviewer is careful in the way the questions are phrased so as not to offend their guest.
Open and follow up questions
Suggestive- this could be a cornering technique to get the interviewee to give the information that everyone wants to hear.
Direct/key- tax avoidance
Sound biters- music that it triggers nostalgia
Documentary audience issues
Accuracy

The White Helmets
Various
members of the white helmets are narrators in this story. The
interviews are just based on the interviewee's answers, the questions are
open but not too direct. There is footage of some of the groups who are
rescuing people from builds which have been hit by bombs. It shows some
of the group members with their families and this gives a sympathetic
feel to the scene. For this documentary there would have been a warning saying there are graphic images. This is done in respect to members of the audience who are sensitive to graphic information.There is some political issues that have to be respected, the documentary maker has to stay neutral and cannot put the blame on anyone.The film maker films the action as it happens and does not try to water it down, they give a realistic viewpoint of the crisis in Syria.
