For CNN Film Internship, the format of the interview is a recorded video interview with questions, you get 2 attempts to answer each question. In total, there were 6 questions. In between them, you can take as much time as you need to prepare for the second attempt. However, once you move to the second attempt, the first gets deleted, and only the second gets submitted. I recommend giving it a try!
