We want to find out what they know or don't know—be it for our own knowledge or someone else's. Some basic tips will help you find out what you want and need to know about someone in a way that is effective, cordial, and without the use of truth serum and torture racks. Educational Objectives: • Students, working in collaborative groups, will select a subject and topic to be presented through their Let's Become an Interviewer videotaped projects. • Students, working in collaborative groups, will construct an Interview Checklist and Cue Sheet prior to filming their Let's Become an Interviewer videotaped projects. These compositions will make use pages 1—3 of the Interview Handbook ("How to Conduct an Interview" and "Videocamera Hints and Clues"). • Students will engage in Pre-Interview techniques, establish their shots, ask follow up questions, and engage in eye contact while engaged behind the camera. • Students will appraise their videotaped creations and select the best takes and scenes to be inserted in the final product. Students are graded on the following criteria: • PRE-INTERVIEW: Student makes attempts at making the subject comfortable. Small talk is offered as well as a joke. Introductory directions are clear and thorough. • ESTABLISHING THE SHOT: Student presents subject in a professional manner. Lighting, background, and distance are given careful consideration. Camera angle and zoom will produce a superior product. • QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES: Student memorizes all questions and asks more than one follow up question. Student speaks in a casual yet caring tone. Pace is comfortable. Student begins with an "easy" question. • ENDING: Student thanks the subject for his or her time and attempts to make the subject feel good about the interview. Student prefaces the last question. • EYE CONTACT & PHYSICAL PRESENCE: Student maintains eye contact with the subject, seldom returning to notes. Uses facial expressions to enhance the subject's answers. Demonstrates poise and is prepared.
