Examples of structuring interviews

Intro:



The interviewer introduced the interviewee as a Strong, Powerful Bold woman to show how genuine and innocent she is, and the first thing the interviewee says is “I am strong”



Developmental:











The interviewer started by praising the interviewee on his new album but then she quickly jumped onto the topic about the incident with him and his ex girlfriend and you could see that he felt really uncomfortable and didn’t want to talk about it at all but the interviewer still didn’t let it go until the point where he had enough and said “This album is definitely what I wanted to talk about, not about something that happened two years ago.”



Confidence Building:

His confidence started building up as she kept paying him compliments on how good looking he was, so he felt comfortable by that especially to have received it from a beautiful ex model.



Key Questions:

In this interview, the interviewer went straight to the key question, she didn’t waste any time at all, she also asked the interviewee really good questions that would allow her to reply with long answers so that the audience can really understand what she went through.




Soundbites:

Before interviewer introduced him to the audience in person, she showed the audience pictures of him when he was a little boy, he then brought it up in the interview and started laughing as he felt quite embarrassed about them.

Summary:


I think this is a good interview because they kept sharing jokes with one another,this made him feel really comfortable, and she started doing the one thing he loves doing which is rapping; though the ending was really unproffessional, it was alright because they already knew each other before the interview and they are friends in real life, also in the interview, the interviewee revealed to her that he had a long term crush on her when he was a child so it didn't really matter because it was more funny and entertaining than innapropriate.




Windup:

I thought this interview was brilliant because it didn't need that much structuring, both the interviewer and the interviewee's personality is so big and bright that they really connected well together, the interview was a success the whole way through. I liked how the interviewer ended the interview on a positive note by discussing both their favourite singer and the interviewee's new single, she also promoted it well by paying her copliments on how similar her voice is to her favourite artist. The interviewer also made sure the interviewee sang to the audience just to give them a little taster of what her voice sounded like which i thought was a good idea as the interviewee isn't really famous for her singing; it is more her acting, so showing the audience what else she is made of makes the interviewee look good which will also make her want to come back next time to the interviewer's show for another interview.
