The person that I chose to interview is a Junior here at Lafayette College. John Rodriguez is a double major student, studying English and art. He is a good friend of mine. Very talented guy. For my interview I wanted to capture an artistic process in its rawest form. John was the best person for that with his studio dreams that are developing further here at Lafayette. John has engineered songs for himself and serveral Lafayette artists. The reason I selected John is because he is a great speaker and easy to talk to. I wanted my interview to have a very home – like vibe. In hopes of keeping John comfortable, and to give us a chance to see where the magic happens, we conducted the interview in his room. I felt like this is where he could be most honest and reflecting about his work while not feeling under pressure from the camera. We participated in many types of shots . The interview ended up being about a hour conversation in which I had a lot of film to work from. It was a good experience. I really learned a lot about John and myself as an interviewer.
