Interview Review

To demonstrate I was listening to the interviewee I sat diagonal to them, and kept looking directly at them when I was asking questions and when they were talking, also ensuring my body was facing them so they could tell I was completely interested in what they were saying, and making them more comfortable to give fuller and more structured answers. 

During the interview my interviewee gave answers which sparked new ideas for questions that would be more suited for the subject matter, so I adapted to the interview situation and changed some of my questions, therefore I was able to pull out more relevant information.

By conducting this interview I learnt that even if I am not on camera as an interviewer I still need to be aware of my body language, for example in my interview I was sat very informally with my hands behind my head. I need to be aware of this as the interviewee may mimic my body language, which may result in them taking a less serious approach when answering the questions.
