Project: Five Minutes of Fame, interview help

Open your favorite magazine or webzine.

• Look for all the different ways interviews are conveyed to audiences.
• Think about how the writers/editors may have decided what to keep and what to edit out.
• Think about how all the questions seem connected or in a logical order. Do you think they were asked that way?
• Look and listen carefully for the analysis and commentary of the interviewer. Do they have an agenda or a message? What is it?
  A. Magazine like format

  You may choose to present your interview in a magazine-like format. You can choose the best parts of the interview to go with photos and add commentary before and after the interview. Example:

  MovieWeb

  Students: This article must be 500-750 words, written in script format. Before and after the article, you must include a paragraph of commentary and analysis that will spin the interview for the audience. You must also include a photo layout (2-5 pictures) that enhances the article visually.

  B. Newspaper like format

  You may choose a newspaper-like format and make the subject (the interviewee) the focus of the story, embedding direct quotes from the interview into the text of the article. Some examples:

  The Huffington Post

  Students: This article must be 300-550 words, written in paragraph form with embedded quotes. The analysis/commentary is the focus, with the interview proving your points. At least 50% of the text should be direct quotes. Include a single photo to enhance the article visually.
