Chapter 5: Prepping for Interviews

It’s time to get ready to do some interviews! But where to start? 

Follow the steps below to make sure you get access to the most interesting interviewees and conduct the most successful interviews possible:

  1. Identify possible interview subjects. Who will you interview? One obvious answer may be your hero. But perhaps that person is deceased or too famous or busy for an interview. Whether your hero is available or not, you will want to try to film people talking about how they have been affected by your hero’s actions.

  2. Request and schedule the interviews. Request interviews as far ahead of time as possible. Be polite but persistent when contacting your interviewees.

  3. Plan your questions. When you finally sit down with your interviewees, you will want to be armed with strong background knowledge and a deep list of well-crafted questions.
