In this interview between President Baracka Obama and interviewer Ellen.
While watching this interview i decided to take note of everything i could see and anything that may be important. also the way they asked the questions, an what the topic of conversation was about. also the techniques that the interviewer uses and the way she builds confidence with the interviewee.
To start off i would like to talk about the question types that are used in this interview. I had noticed that at the beginning of the interview they start off by Ellen apologizing to Obama in a jokey way about breaking his twitter re-tweet record. This was to get the conversation going and make the audience laugh as well as herself and Obama. She then moved on to asking open questions about Obama's family life. his includes his wife on holiday and his children's life's. They talk about how his wife came to go on this holiday to china. and how his kids are excited because they had never been there before. but also the way the children are with Obama such as 'They don't spend time with him' and stuff like that. They also start discussing Obama's children wanting to get tattoo's and Obama's house rule that if any of his children get any tattoo's him and his wife are going to get the same one in the same place to 'take away the coolness of the tattoo'. Ellen then starts asking a few more open questions to do with Obama going shopping in a 'GAP' store. This then leads onto a bit of informational questions and answers. they then start talking about the minimum wage being raised in america, and how 'GAP' have raised there's and that is why Obama went shopping there, so show support to a company that treats there staff with respect. All this concludes my result in saying the interview type was very un-formal but also informational.
The way that the interview is kept going and the 'Chit chat' is well kept means that the interviewer and the interviewee have both got well rapport, and they have very good body language with each other, there is also a good sense of active listening because Obama always keeps eye contact with the camera and same with Ellen. It was hard to place a journalistic context onto the interview because of the way it was structured. but if i had to place a context it would be television with a bit of featuring.
The actual structure itself was done well, this is because without a good structure the interview wouldnt have been nearly as success full, but it was very informational and comical. This made the interview entertaining an made the viewers more interested.
