This is what determines the relevance of the interview genre research. The aim of this article is tosingle out video interviews as a speech genre (in German studies – a communicative genre), as well as to define itscommunicative organization and composition, namely communicative and pragmatic organization in general. For the first time, a model for analyzing the speech genre “video interview” has been created. For this purpose the “passport”of T.

Video interviews are defined as a speech (communicative) genre with a certain established structure,namely an integrated informative version of the interview genre, which includes TV and special interviews stored onYouTube video hosting on the Internet, which are a public form of receipt by the interviewer information through questionson a particular topic (about the identity of the respondent, his thoughts on a particular problem or event) from a wellknownin the field respondent, who has a specific composition at different structural levels.
