Thanks for sending me a copy of your interview questions. Here are my comments:
-
Eliminate questions about the Davis Scholarship. Let your interviewee bring it up (a little coaching, perhaps). Then you can ask a follow-up about the scholarship.
-
Keep it simple. Let your interviewee answer open-ended questions. Limit your scripted questions to 5 or 6. You can ad lib a bit when there is an obvious opportunity.
Here are the questions I would keep from your list, but you may want to further revise:
-
Where are you from?
-
What drives you to pursue your education and be successful?
-
What made you decide to attend WCC?
-
What has your experience at WCC been like?
-
What challenges in life have you overcome to get where you are today?
-
What are your plans after WCC? (my addition, trying to get some life goals)
Remember that you don't want enough footage of each interview, but too much footage will be impossible to edit in the time you have.
Other groups, please feel free to post additional comments on this post.
