Just returned from recording today. Really struggled to approach people for an interview. It wasn’t as easy as rocking up somewhere and sticking a microphone in front of people. I didn’t want my questions to make these sometimes quite vulnerable people feel ashamed to live on the estate. I asked rubbish questions like “so do you enjoy living here?” and just got bland responses like “yeah I guess I enjoy it”. I was putting words in there mouth. I didn’t want to ask questions that seemed patronising but at the same time I need to push people a little more to open up. Will try again tomorrow.
