Interview ideas

I have decided to use smaller interviews as well as the main interview with the historian who will be talking right throughout the whole thing. I have decided how I will have my interviews, I have looked at existing interviews in documentaries and looked at all the techniques like the shots, looking room and the lighting etc. I did these in Interview analysis – Leaving Neverland.

I am talking about different cultures throughout my documentary, I was thinking I could interview people from the different cultures in the city like a musician and they can talk about the music culture in the history and how it has developed. My main interviewee will give information on the history and development of the city and the docks and then the regeneration in the city and how it affected people’s lives.

Whilst speaking about the regeneration of Liverpool, I will interview my grandad who lived in the bad conditions in Anfield and what it was like living in them conditions and what it is like today and how it affected people after it changed. This will give the audience an idea of what it was like coming from someone who actually experienced it.

I will then go on to talking about the music in the city and I want to interview someone within the music industry so I can get all the information who may be more knowledgeable on the subject to show the audience that he knows what he is talking about. They will talk about the music of the city and how it affected the city and the success it brought to merseyside.

The art of the city will then be brought up and I have decided if I interview someone it will be an artist in the city and they will also talk about the affect art has had on the city and their influences. If the artist has any of their work in a museum or a gallery then I hope to interview them in front of it after getting permission.

The last segment will be on the football which is Everton and Liverpool and I will interview someone who will know how the football has affected and influenced merseyside culture. Hopefully, I will be interviewing someone from the Liverpool or Everton club which will be impartial with the views and positive comments about both teams rather than be biased. The interviewee will most probably be Scouse because there will be more proud and have more to say.

Interviewing people will let the audience see how the different cultures in the city have affected different people and their lives as well as affecting the city. Having interviews will get other people’s honest opinions and will be more balanced hearing different views on things.
