Evaluation of interview

When looking at the footage I have collected, I have noticed that out of the three people who I interviewed, they all have pretty much have the same view on the subject matter as they all answered the questions in a similar way. They all more or less had positive responses to the questions rather than negative, such as saying how they disagree with what goes on within society when looking at the plus-size category. What I did not see throughout the interviewing is anyone going against the questions I was asking, or giving a different opinion as to what the rest did, which would've been more controversial and unusual to see rather than having people with the same answers. Saying this, if I had answers such as this I would feel quite offended - say if someone agreed with the treatment of overweight people in society, as a person overweight, I would feel as though I would have to bite my tongue slightly in order to carry out the interview properly. I interviewed three people, of different gender and races, which showed me whether colour or age was evidently different, it didn't make a difference to someone's opinion. It also made it fair, rather than asking 3 people of the same race, age or gender, as they may give different answers to one another.

Through carrying out the interview, I learned more about the opinions of my fellow class mates whilst also coming to a conclusion that not everyone has the same views about the issue I am talking about. I have also become aware through the vox-pops that I should broaden my horizons when it comes to the people I ask, as although this selection of people were on my side during the interview, I would like to ask more people to see if their views differed to make things more interesting. I also achieved experience to interview people in a professional like scenario, as I was in-control of the questions and frame/camera shot throughout the interview, which gave me an insight to how it feels to interview someone.

I feel my vox-pops were quite effective, they were open questions which lead to long, detailed answers which gave me an insight to the thoughts of people about this particular subject matter.
If I were to improve my interviews, I would probably give my interviewee less time to answer, as I felt their answers at some points were too drawn out and I should have cut in so I had the opportunity to ask connective questions which would progress the interview more, rather than cutting to a completely different question and losing track of what the interviewee had just told me. I would also probably prepare myself more, so I came across more serious about the matter & prepare my interviewee's with what they're going to talk about, rather than throwing them into the deep end not knowing what the questions are going to be about. Saying this, I feel overall I was able to conduct a good interview and with some minor touches, I feel I would create an even better interview experience for myself and the person I am interviewing.
