- Completing coursework, Social networking, and fitness? Etc.What time do you normally go to bed to be ready for the next day?

Structured/unstructured - I have chosen to go with the structured interview; there are a few follow up

questions which could change depending on the answer the interviewee gives me.

Structured interviews provides something to fall back on when you dont have things to ask (run out of ideas),

also, it takes pressure off of you which could cause you to take attention off the interviewee, this making you

look not bothered and bored.

Recording Methods - During the interview, I will write down notes of what the interviewee has said, as this

is what I am looking to do, collect information.

Subject cover and interviewee - My subject was daily life, and the person I asked to be my interviewee

was Jamie Richard Edwin Gillum, the reason I asked him was he is very random and unpredictable, this possibly

making it an exciting interview, I also know him which will create a friendly atmosphere.

LocationI have chosen the P.E classroomto use for my interview as the surroundings are bright (with lights

on) and it is slightly cooler than places like the Sixth Form common room and G13 (private study room).

Objects to bring/barriers availablePen/pencil paper/notepad. Tables and chairs.
