Because of our difficulties getting an interview from an older source who raises their own livestock, Kaitlyn decided to give the interview a new perspective and gets a child's view on the benefits of raising your own livestock. She interviewed both her sister (13) and her cousin (12), both of them raise there own pigs for 4H and sell them for profit. Although it was not what we wanted or expected out of an interview, it added a comedic touch to our overall research collaboration.
During class, Kaitlyn and I looked over the video she took, which was on a video camera she purchased solely for research. She admitted it was difficult trying to figure out to work something so new, and we also had trouble with the sound as we watched it. I myself had to hold it up to my ear to listen closely to the interview process, it was a bit annoying, but I had no other choice. We still have yet to transfer the video to a computer, but I have fears that it may be another part of our process that will refuse to run smoothly. My fingers are crossed!
As for the interview itself, the process didn't last as long as she expected, it was about eight minutes total. This was a bit nerve wrecking considering we need about 20 minutes of recording, but she hopes to try again. Questions had to be switched up to meet a child's understanding, and even with 18 different questions and improvisation, the interview was short winder. They did not take the questions too seriously, and had the tendency to answer with short responses, something that we feared from the beginning. We hope to add to what they gave to us with interviews from others who are willing to cooperate. This is probably the most stressed out that I have ever been regarding a class project, but I am hoping for the best.
