You can ask them any questions you like about the issue of guns in the context of this latest round of protests following the shooting in Parkland, Florida and any other current related issues.<\/p>\n<p>If your subject is boring, find someone else and do it again. Turn in your two best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stand close to your subjects for good audio quality and less camera shake.<\/li>\n<li>Look for a location that is well lit, but not in direct sunlight.<\/li>\n<li>Hold the camera horizontally. Hold the camera steady by locking your arms at your side.

Will ambient sound add to, or take away from the quality of your interview. Will the background detract from the interview?<\/li>\n<li>Ask open-ended questions that prompt more than a one or two-word response.<\/li>\n<li>Allow the camera to continue running for a few seconds at the end of the interview.<\/li>\n<li>Listen to your subject\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s responses. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t talk during your subject\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s response. Use non-verbal cues.<br \/>\n<em>Our goal is to capture meaningful responses without hearing the interviewer.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Silence is your friend. Allow the camera to continue to record if your subject pauses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Completed interviews should be put in a folder, slugged with your name:\u00c2\u00a0 First_Last_Interview_1<\/p>\n<p>Uploaded your two videos to the folder, Section_002_UPLOAD or Section_001_UPLOAD to Box<br \/>\n(YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LINK TO ACCESS YOUR\u00c2\u00a0CLASS FOLDER &#8211; IF NOT LET ME KNOW)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The Box app can be downloaded to your phone for free.
