Emotional Interview

Today we interviewed one of our most sensitive contributors for our 3 minute wonder.

This was especially hard to do because most of the people we have interviewed as practice have been quite upbeat and the questions have been quite basic. When it comes to interviewing someone that has been through a traumatic experience we had to make sure we were very sensitive and careful of how we worded the questions.

Julie had been affected by drowning, when she was 9 her mum and brother drowned and she was rescued. She was very nervous throughout the interview and we made her aware that at any time we could stop if she needed a break. Even though her story was very powerful this was an amazing opportunity for us as a group to interview someone that made it more difficult. It has again tested my abilities, like most things that we have filmed on this project. I look forward to seeing the footage come together in the coming weeks!

Radio appeal

When it comes to finding contributors, it's not always that easy.

Our group took a different approach and decided to get into contact with BBC Radio Cornwall to help our search. James, our producer, got in contact with the station and we managed to get a phone in slot between 2pm-3pm. Alice, our director spoke on the phone, which was aired live on the station.

Hopefully we will have some interest.
