Production Booklet
Purpose of Interview 1:
What is the purpose of this interview?
The purpose of this interview is to explore music culture. It will explore the culture and lifestyle
behind folk music, making music and lyrics with a singer songwriter, and the audiences and history
behind reading festival.
Add research demonstrating the format of this interview (ie a magazine layout, or an interview chat
show on TV)
Production Booklet
In what medium (audio, visual, written etc) will the final interview be presented?
The medium that the final interview will be presented in will be a visual interview for a television
show.
Describe how you are planning on contacting and liaising with your talent (interviewee)
I am contacting and liaising my interviewee using online messaging via Facebook. I will then
screenshot the text messages and use that as proof of the agreement.
Production Booklet
How will you make sure unnecessary sounds etc are not recorded?
The studio room that it is being recorded in has been soundproofed so no unnecessary sound are
able to come in while we are recording. A boom is being used as this helps cancel out any extra
noise. Only a small crew will be inside the studio while filming so there will be minimal noise from
people.
If visual recording, explain how you will deal with any issues caused by ambient light.
Ambient light is a difficult light to work with as it is not controllable and can affect the appearance
and the look of the television setting if it is not set outside.
Lighting:
Production Booklet
Production Booklet
Likely Response:
I play the piano and the acoustic guitar and the electric
guitar.
Likely Response:
Yeah, the instruments that you mainly see in folk music are
the older more tradition style of instruments such as
acoustic guitars, ukuleles and the fiddle.
Next Question: How long have you been playing music for?
Likely Response:
I have been playing music since I was about 9 years old,
so I was quite young, but I really got into it and now music
is my life and that is what I love doing.
Production Booklet
Next Question: How did you get introduced into folk music?
Likely Response:
I got introduced into folk music through my parents and the
rest of my family as they were already into and listening to
that kind of music.
Next Question: So folk music has been a major part of your life then What does
folk music mean to you?
Likely Response:
Folk music means everything to me, it is what I enjoy doing
and it has become part of me and is part of my lifestyle
now.
Likely Response:
Folk festivals are very fun and enjoyable to go to. It is a lot
more community based compared to all the other kinds of
festivals. At folk festivals people get together and chat and
drink. It is a lot more easy-going and has a laid back
attitude compared to your average festival where it is all
about the music and people going to mosh pits.
Production Booklet
Question: What kind of audience does folk music and folk festivals appeal to?
Likely Response:
The kind of audience that you see mainly going to folk
festivals and being into folk music are generally the older
generation, and people from the countryside as opposed to
the city. There are not too many young people there.
Next Question: Why dont you think that many young people listen to Folk music?
Likely Response:
I think that not many young people listen to folk music due
to the stereotyping of folk music. There is also a slight
prejudice against it which is probably putting young people
off listening to it as well.
Next Question: How would you get more people to listen to folk music?
Likely Response:
Some indie and rock bands are quite similar to the folk
genre and are popular with young people. So if more folk
artist supported these indie bands and them folk music
would become more known to young people.
Production Booklet
What will your interview style be? (formal, informal and chatty, intense, questioning, argumentative,
friendly, jokey)
My interview style will be more informal, chatty and friendly.
Add research of other interview/chat shows where the presenter has a similar style. You can insert
another page here for your research.
Graham Norton interviews George Ezra on The Graham Norton Show.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUucgkSNZKo
Graham uses a very chatty, friendly and jokey way of interviewing which relaxes the guest and
makes it a lot easier for them to open up. This is the kind of style that we are going to try and
emulate.
