All interviews are filmed in a medium shot. They are also framed, so that they're facial features are 2/3 of the way up the screen, this is so the camera doesn't cut the top of their head off or, put them so low down that you can only see their face.
They never have light in the background, this is because it needs to focus on the backdrop and the mise en scene has relate to the interview.
They use cut aways of archive material to break up interviews and illustrate what they are talking about, this is to avoid jump cuts when questions are edited out.
Interviews always use graphics, this is so the audience know who the interviewee is.
The interviewee is framed either right or left of the camera, in this case they are filmed to his right. The interviewee must look at the interviewer and not the camera, because if they look at the camera, it makes the documentary feel more personal to the audience and therefore, less realistic.
