Web Design August 8th

1. Interviewing - be prepared (notebook, recorder), research topic, prepare a list of questions, be conversational, be open to to new or unplanned questions, think about the 5 W's

From school-video-news.com:

You may want to think of some introductory questions to start with, so that you get your subject used to being interviewed on camera, e.g. What is their name? Where were they born? etc.

Next consider some questions to ask that relate to what your project is about. Try and think of questions that will encourage your subject to tell stories and details about your project topic, instead of questions that may result in a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

Even though you have prepared questions in advance, one of the exciting things about interviewing someone is that you discover new things - so remember to let your subject expand on things that are relevant, and ask new questions you may not have thought of until the interview.
