Blog #1 S2

My first professional interview would be an interview with Lady GaGa done by Elle Magazine. There are the sic's in it, and helpful information in brackets.

This one is a little bit different style than the Lady GaGa one, because the Lady GaGa one, it is exact quotes, no different information, but it still gets what the reader wants to read out there, and this one with Slash is long, detailed and has quotes and background information on him and his band Guns N' Roses at the time, so even someone with no knowledge of GN'R could read it and understand it.

Good interviews not only have good questions, but they have good interviewers, if the interviewer is not serious and doesn't ask questions that need to be asked the article will suffer. The vibe always has to be a good one too, if it's not much like a conversation it doesn't particularly go as smoothly. That's mostly what I've noticed. Writers can use a various amount of methods to record the interviews, they could use a recorder, a video camera or just pull specific quotes from what the interviewee says. Or just ask the interviewee to speak really slowly.
