There you go. Let's just think about this for a minute...
You have a sick alien, and you want information from him (it). It's very important, so you want to get the best possible recording. The alien could die at any time, so have doctors waiting. It's also very secret.
* So naturally what you want to do is drag him into a darkened room.
* Then you turn a camera on him but not so much that you can see him clearly. Keep the lights low and don't bother to maybe, I dunno, increase the aperture of the camera so you can see him.
* Make him sit in a short chair. Why give him a tall chair, or make him stand?
* Clutter up the picture frame with some stuff like time code and agency I.D., to make it easier for Fox to edit someday. Remember, this is a historical record!
* Keep the doctors away until they're absolutely needed, though.
* But make sure they wear masks to protect themselves from alien viruses.
* When the alien has an attack, whatever you do, don't move it! Just pat his back and wipe his mouth.
* And since you spent all that time making sure the camera angles and lighting were perfect to capture the moment, for heaven's sake don't let the doctors block the view of the alien! Even if it makes it harder to save his life.
* Make the doctor on the right reach all the way over the top of the alien's head to do the work.
Yeah, it all makes perfect, realistic sense. This is exactly how it would look if somebody was making a monumentally historic film of an interview with a dying alien. I'm glad they took extra care and didn't spare any expense.
