First Interview

What went wrong

Just got home from my first ever interview for my first ever Documentary. I interviewed Dr. Melvyn Dubofsky today as pre-research to get myself oriented to the story i want to tell. Right off the bat there were speed-bumps. he started by telling me this story has already been told and recently which threw me off as if I wasn't nervous already. I didn't get to ask really ANY of the questions i had crafted, because even though he is a historian he told me the history is dead and I shouldn't focus on it for this project (which I wasn't planning on) but I was referred to him as a local historian so all of my questions were about history.

Um... so yeah. I was nervous and the conversation didn't go how i expected, but I took notes and I recorded his audio and now I have a lot of things to think about as well as some new ideas on how to tell my story. so... Success!

His audio has been logged onto my external Harddrive.

Oh and I snapped a picture for you guys before I left. he was in a hurry though and I was too shy to ask for a second one so... this is what you get. I'll do better next time.
