Interview/Documentary setup - the subject talking points

[Inprogress]

Apologies for the vague Title - I'm not sure what you call it - still learning.

I watched a video on Vimeo the other day Joshua Coyne called "Downingtown SkatePark PSA" : http://vimeo.com/31929580

I haven't posed the question to Josua yet however (he might be here as well) it regards the talking bits by subject in the piece. When doing a piece like this, where the...I shall call him the character...talks about what he talks about what will the workflow be in such a case?

Here is what I think I will do:

- Get to know the story (goes without saying really)
- Scout the location(s) to help tell the story and create mood
- Prepare some questions/talking points to lift the main story/objective/concept out of the details
- Hand this to the character to help him prepare the talking points - in this case keep the preparations loose cause you'd rather have the character talk about it than recite a script
- Then film and go through the "script" i.e. Each talking point

This is what I will do if I want to do the same kind of piece - what do you call this type of video's?

Thanks

EDIT: Have posed the question to Joshua.
