Production desicions- interviews

I need to make a few final decisions about wheather to interview people at home or at school, whether to use a male or female, young or old narrartor, and what questions will be good to ask as a Vox pop around school.

Interviews
When interviewing people about their experiences with cyber bullying i need to make sure they are comfortable to openly talk, most people would be most comfortable being interviewed at home where they feel safe and secure and are more likely to talk openly about their experiences. Also the interview being shot at home makes the story more personal and the audience will feel more in touch with the story. On the other hand if i interviewed people in the school environment it will help the audience to understand the age of the subject and their innocence. Although people will be less open in school and may not cover all the issues of cyber bullying that they may have done at home. This is a link to a website with documentary interview tips.

In conclusion i think that it will depend on the depth of the interview to determine whether i interview at school or at home. Becuause if its just a short interview where a student is talking about a friends experience or a small personal experience then i think it will look better and it will take a lot less organising rather than if i did every interview at the subjects homes. Also having the short interviews at school will emphasise the importance of the more personal interviews where a subject talks about a very personal experience that may be quite a sensitive subject in their home where they are safe and secure and can talk openly.
