What Makes for an Interesting Interview

The names of the interviews that I listened to were; "At the time I was tutuoring at an after school program", "The doctors were amazed he lived as long as he did.", and "The students wouldnt speak to me." And the two that I watched were, "Always a Family" and "Danny and Annie".

In the audio interviews there was music being played in the background in two that i listened to, which made the interview feel more senstive about the subject they was talking about.  And there were a few pauses in the course of the two minutes that were filled with the music. The interview was easy to understand, it was informative throughout to help you get it without hearing the whole interview. You got the jist of the interview from the small parts that they played in the samplings. Some were more heartfelt and sad then the others but they all had meaning.

In the animated interviews it was much easier to follow along with the story and there was more information shared. "Always a Family" was sad, and having pictures of the children and father made it seem more real and easier to put yourself into the story. And the same went for "Danny and Annie" it was another sad story that made you think about the one that you love. With the music and the actual visuals of their faces.

The audio and animated interviews were the same with the voices and getting the same information. But they were different because the animated ones gave you visuals to really understand and comprehend what the people are trying to tell you. It makes their story sound more realistic.

My criteria are; 1. start from the beginning, 2. use as much information as you possibly can, 3. dont forget important details, 4. ask as many questions as you can to get the full story as the interviewer, 5. be truthful
