Interview Check
Q: Who are you interviewing and why?
A: I am interviewing professor Fossum at Cal Poly. I took his film history class last year and just love the guy, he also has experience as an actor and I would like to ask him a question about his experience in the field. Being a film history teacher I assume he would also be able to give me some good sources. Other than that he is currently my only contact, excluding my ROP teacher.
Q: What additional questions will you ask them? In addition to the five already assigned.
A: Well, professor Fossum has some experience working with film-makers so I was thinking of asking him what was the most important thing he learned about the industry, and if had any advice for some one who was trying to get a foot in the door, what that advice would be? I'd also like to ask him if he has any sources he could reccomend for my research.
