This week has been planning and organising for shooting on my final project for the subject. I think the most important and often overlooked is just to make some kind of start. Since the documentary heavily relies on the subject’s voice over, it has to be my main priority and needs to be done otherwise the documentary goes no where. In preparation for the interview with Ethan, I have compiled a short list of questions that would be good to build the foundation and structure of the story:

How has your career in wrestling progressed so far?

What challenges do you face in wrestling?

What do you hope to achieve from all of this hard work and dedication to training?

How have you been able to accomplish so much skill in a short period of time?

Why have you coined yourself as ‘The Half Man Half Machine’

Do you think your transition from pro basketball has helped you immensely in learning the moves?

Why have you made this transition?

Where shall we see you in the future?

I tried to make these questions as open as possible so it leads to more potential sub questions and depth to the story. Hopefully there will be plenty of content to work with so that I can develop an interesting story for the documentary. Further research will be required to make the interview better.

I found this tutorial on interviewing very interesting and informative:
