Talking head is an informal term used among filmmakers. It describes a shot of a person talking on camera during an interview. This term hasn’t been used in film theory yet. Sometimes this term has a pejorative meaning especially among film teachers and their students. For most of them it’s not a creative tool. In this book called Talking Heads in Documentary Film I define the so-called talking head as an expressive tool of documentary cinema. I describe it as a creative instrument of a director of an audiovisual work. I present creative aspects of working with the talking heads based on theoretical reflexion and practical experience.
