E-text Field Research

The first two videos that I watched where about the differences in effective and not effective interviews. I agree that being friendly and sharing why your writing this paper and just getting to know each other through the interview will allow the person your interviewing to open up more and that is when you get the most important information. Coming into an interview acting like a robot just firing off questions just does not seem like a very effective way of accomplishing a good interview. This should help me in the unit 2 Community paper because i am gong to go to three different tattoo shops and interview the tattoo artist. This has made me think about how i am going to prepare for my interview. What i have learned the most is that i should go there be myself and just kind of go with the flow share some information about myself and what my paper is about and just break the ice.The third video that we watched had to do with observation. I liked the Double entry note taking that was talked about. I will definitely use this techniqe when i am observing a place. I think it allows you to just catch every aspect of what is going on around you which is very important for making any paper more in depth and interesting.
