If possible, have at least 2 cameras rolling with different framing during the interview so you are able to cut to the other camera in the edit. You don't need to go crazy with having different framing. You can simply set 2 cameras on top of each other - one capturing a wide shot and the other framed tighter.

Tip: If you only have 1 camera then you can go through the questions twice and adjust the framing accordingly during the second round of the questions.
