Interview Planning

·         Location; My house, 13 Culpepers, Goudhurst, Kent,TN17 1EA

·         Date and Time; April

·         Appropriate Setting; Two possible locations which include inside in a living room area or outside as it would show the setting where the interviewee lives.

·         Recording methods; We would use a DSLR camera to record all of the footage and a mobile device to record the interview being done.

·         Ambient considerations; When conducting the interview, you would need to keep in mind that lighting and sound will be the main ambient considerations. You can choose the best setting/ be aware of any issues that may happen.

·         Talent liaison considerations; When planning the interviews, we made sure with the people we would be interviewing would be available and then we went to them when it was convenient for them.

·         Requirements of interview; We would want to gain understanding and an opinion which we would be able to reflect on.

Structuring

When planning the interviews, I thought that it would be best to use a mix of open and closed questions, as well as suggestive questions so we can get the opinion from the interviewee which we would be looking to get across.

When conducting the questions, I made sure that they were neutral and did not forward on to a bias.

I also considered the interview style that I would have wanted. This was that I wanted it to feel not forced, and I based it off of the secondary research I did, the interviews would be informal.

Preparation

I liaised with the clients to when they are free as they also have a schedule which they should follow, so we would fit it around both of our schedules.

Before the interview started, we went through the questions with the interviewees to make sure that they understand the questions before we start filming.

To also make sure that the interviewee’s would be okay to film them so we would create performer release forms for them to sign and we would also do an interview proposal form so it would also add to consent from them.
