Open: An open question is a question that needs an explanation with the answer. They have an infonaut amount of relevant answers as this could just be based on a opinion or be personal to them. This answer is mostly likely not going to be given by another person because no two people are exactly the same. An example would be, "what are you doing at the weekend?" Watch this video until two mins.
Closed: A closed question is the opposite to an open question. A closed question can be answered with a one or two word answer. These aren't very good at obtaining information as the answer wouldn't be very detailed. Often there is a 50/50 chance that some will give the same answer as the previous person especially if it is a one word answer like yes or no. An example would be, "do you enjoy playing football?" Watch the video from 48 seconds.
Single: A single question is a question that inquires about something. These questions are fairly short, and often the answer is also very short as well, this is because, a single question is very similar to a closed question. An example of a single question is, "is that job offer still available?"
Multiple: A multiple question is similar to a single question but, they have more than one line of inquiry. Where as a single question would say, "have you got any of that chocolate left?", a multiple question would say, "have you got any of that chocolate left, and could I have some if you have any left?" This adds more information onto the end of the question so the answer will be more detailed. Watch this clip between twenty and thirty eight seconds.
Direct: A direct question is a question that gets straight to the point. They are very precise and assertive so they can get the direct answer that they want. They are always punctuated with a question mark, where as a less direct question doesn't have a question mark. An example would be, "why are you supporting this position?" Watch the video from 59 seconds.
Suggestive: A suggestive question is a question that implies that the interviewer knows something about the interviewee that other people may not know. It is also a very direct and assertive question and is very often a personal question designed to interrogate the interviewee, An example would be, "are you still stabbing people?" Watch this clip at two minutes thirty five seconds and finish it at four minutes thirty seconds.
Interview Structure:
Confidence Building: Confidence building is when the interviewer and interviewee first meet and the interviewer has to break the ice with them. They do this because they are trying to build a relationship with the interviewee so they can get better answers out of the interviewee. If this stage is missed then the interviewee may not feel as comfortable and that may lead to a hostile interview. Watch the clip until thirty seconds.
Introduction: The introduction is the start of the interview. This is when the interviewer and the interviewee are in the very early stages of the interview. They are just there to warm to the crowd (if its a chat show) or settle in in front of the TV cameras. If this stage was missed then the interview would feel rushed and unprofessional.Watch the clip until sixteen seconds.
Key Questions: Key questions are the first questions that are asked in the interview. This follows up nicely from the introduction because the interview can gradually progress, These questions are generally simple questions because the more detailed questions are yet to come. If this stage was missed then it would also feel rushed and unprofessional as it would jump from the introduction to the developmental questions.
Developmental Questions: Developmental questions are more detailed than the key question. This is because the lead into more detailed answers given by the interviewee. Often these are very personal question which generally brings out the emotion in the interview. If this stage was missed then the viewers would not get the information that they would want. Watch until four minutes and forty five seconds.
Wind Up: The wind up is when the interviewer has asked all his developmental questions and is starting to finish the interview gradually. They may do this by interacting with the audience more or by complementing the interviewee. If this stage was missed then the interview would end very awkwardly. Start this clip at three minutes fifteen seconds and stop it at three minutes thirty.
Summary: A summary is when the interview is finished and the interviewer summarizes what has gone on in the interview and then finishes with a catch phrase or just a simple thank you. This shows the audience that the interview has finished, If this stage was missed then the audience wouldn't know if the interview was finished.In this clip start it at seven minutes fifteen seconds and end it at seven minutes fifty seconds.
Soundbites: A soundbite is a short speech/noise/catch phrase that is played at the end of a TV or radio program. This indicates to the audience that the program/interview is finished. This is often used on chat shows to add some comedy to the show. Watch this clip from thirty two seconds.
