"Crossing Career Boundaries" by Jaime Christmas
When entering a political race, I don't think you're ever quite aware of what's at stake. In this interview my dad, John Christmas, talks about entering a race to become judge with only two months of prior preparation. The successes and struggles that come with the stress of competing in a political race are discussed.
Whilst doing this project I learned that procrastination is not the key at all. It’s one thing to have to perform a 45 minuet interview, but its another to have to edit it all, and leaving that process to the last minuet is surely not the best way to go about getting an A. Another thing I learned is that Garageband and other programs that can, and will be used to complete this project are, and will continue to be, especially irritating. Numerous things could happen that could destroy your project from completing shutting down or I don’t know, things could just go horribly wrong. I also learned that you should interview someone that is a good speaker or is confident enough to tell their story. If you decide to interview someone who is even slightly hesitant, you’re not going to be able to get every last inch of the story out of them. If they’re not comfortable speaking anyway then you might just be stuck with short responses that could leave a very interesting story having lose ends and unanswered questions. The last thing I learned from this project was that you should come up with questions or at least like a starting off point before you go into the interview. Even though it’s supposed to be a natural conversation, if you don’t have stable ground to start on, both the interviewer and interviewee are going to be stumbling over each other with their words. There should be some kind of rhythm, that way you won’t have to edit out extreme amounts of unnecessary conversation that might leave your interview being too short.
