Interviews are conducted to gather information from and about a person, and usually revolve around a particular context. Vogue Australia’s Zara Wong, in her interview with actress Alycia Debnam-Carey, strives to expose her bubbly personality and talent to a new audience. She describes the actress as “star bright”, and that her “sharp intelligence” is setting “her apart” from other celebrities. She notes that it is what’s “propelling her success in Hollywood”, rather than her “young and beautiful” appearance. She says that the “canny, big-picture-aware quips” that Debnam-Carey comes out with are a “by-product of an insatiable curiosity and wonderment.” She also exposes, through more information about her story and who she is, why readers should

In both Alycia Debnam-Carey’s Vogue interview, and Gordon Ramsay’s SCMP.com interview, their respective interviewers constructed the account into a prolific response, rather than a direct piece that follows the established structure and conventions of interviews. As an alternative to the typical question and answer format, Zara Wong has composed her Vogue interview with block paragraphs. She has recounted the interview in a way that allows the answers to reveal the unspecified query, refraining from directly incorporating the questions. The interview begins with Wong stating that it was “7.30 on a Friday Morning at Sydney’s Flemington Flower Markets” when the interview took place.

Interviews that are constructed in the traditional way usually don’t allow any personal or emotive input from the interviewer in the ‘post-production’. These types of interviews are direct, and considerably impassive on the interviewers half. This limitation also affects the language techniques used. While the questions must be well constructed, they don’t incorporate many language techniques beyond a professional use of grammar.

To intrigue the audience from the beginning, Zara Wong has used bold and enthusiastic headings, both through design and language. She has briefly outlined the focus of the interview by shining a positive light on the interviewee, Alycia Debnam-Carey, calling her “Star Bright”, and describing her as “young and beautiful”. It is these techniques that draw the reader in, someone who may not know of her, and are curious to discover more about her intelligence that is “propelling her success in Hollywood”.
