OBAMA’S BLOGHER INTERVIEW

by A.man.I

The interviewer needs a bit more practice, but it’s good to see Obama granting access to independent media.

    Thanks for posting this. I’d be curious to know what it was about the interviewer you found lacking (she spent 9 years in broadcast media, 3 as an anchor).

    Regardless, thanks for the re-post. :)

    Overall, I think it was a good segment, so here are my thoughts:

    The questions obviously came from other bloghers, but I was always taught that an interview should be more of a conversation, so even if the questions were scripted out, she could ask the questions in her own words and not be so tied her note cards.

    The other thing that made the segment feel not so professional was the camera work. There was too much headroom on the two shot. The cameraman should have tilted up and adjusted the shot when s/he went wide.

    This isn’t meant to take away from the hard work that I’m sure went into getting the interview and posting it online.
