SPH MEDIA CLUB WORKSHOP - 18Th April 2008.
First Part of the Workshop.
- Tips from the pro, Sujin Thomas.
He was a reporter of LIFE for over four years.
And interviewed celebrities such as Good Charlotte and Carlos Santana.
The whole workshop was really interesting!
When we interview people, always start off with lighter questions.
Do not go straight to the point from the beginning.
Break the ice first, let the person feel comfortable.
Always ask the most sensitive question during the end of the interview.
Because you already had all your questions answered during the first part of the interview.
So it is all right if the person wants to end the interview as you already had the information.
