Blog Update #4 Executing the Interviews

As of yesterday, I completed my first interview for my documentary. As planned, I asked

an individual a series of questions related to addiction. The individual I was talking to yesterday
provided detailed answers for me to use. Their answers will be used to contribute to my research
being presented regarding addiction. The documentary will be roughly 20 minutes long. The
interview I recorded yesterday was about 10 minutes. Once I have done all three interviews, I
will take out my favourite answers from each interviewer and combine them together. By the end
of this week, I am planning to have all three interviews completed. I have an interview arranged
for Wednesday, December 6th. After the interviews are complete, I will be able to put everything
into the documentary and begin the editing process. I am guessing that the editing process will
take me roughly a week or two. I have hardly any experience with editing, and I am hoping it
works out. I may have troubles with the editing and find myself frustrated while trying to
complete the task. I have all the necessary information for my documentary. I have had my notes
and information completed for about a month now. I am going to organize the sections of my
documentary before starting and divide it into parts to make it easier to display all the
information, so it makes sense. Some skills I have employed during this section of my capstone
are communication and personal awareness and responsibility. My communication skills allowed
me to connect with others, others being the interviewers. The interview I completed went well
and will contribute to my project the way I wanted it to. I also struggled to advocate for myself
and gain motivation to follow through with the rest of my capstone project. I am hopeful that
everything will turn out and the interview on Wednesday will go just as well as the one yesterday
did.
