SUMMARY:A Practical Evening Of Interview Technique
DESCRIPTION:Session led by Paul Howard \n\n\n\n\n\nInterviewing someone well is harder than it looks. A good interview is not just about having a list of questions\, it is about listening properly\, asking clearly\, spotting what matters\, and knowing when to follow something interesting a bit further. \n\n\n\nThis practical club evening will give members the chance to improve their interview technique by putting it into practice with Peter Leverick in the hot seat. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Practical Evening Of Interview Technique\n\n\n\nMembers will have the chance to ask Peter questions about the club\, its history\, the challenges of keeping it going\, and the experiences that have shaped it over the years. Peter will then give feedback afterwards\, helping members think about what worked\, what could have been stronger\, and how to get more from an interview. \n\n\n\nThis will be a hands on and interactive evening rather than a lecture. The aim is to help members become more confident interviewers by seeing how different kinds of questions produce different kinds of answers. Some questions open up stories\, some reveal personality\, and some simply fall flat. Learning to tell the difference is a big part of becoming a better filmmaker. \n\n\n\nThere should also be a lively element to the evening\, as Peter has every intention of being a slightly awkward and mischievous interviewee at times\, which in itself should make for a useful learning experience. Real interviews do not always go smoothly\, and part of the skill is learning how to stay calm\, adapt\, and keep the conversation moving in a productive direction. \n\n\n\nThis session should be useful for anyone interested in documentary\, factual filmmaking\, or simply getting better at drawing out stronger answers from contributors. Whether you have interviewed people before or never done it at all\, it should be an enjoyable way to practise and learn. \n\n\n\nWhat To Expect\n\n\n\n\nA practical interview session with Peter Leverick\n\n\n\nThe chance to ask questions and see how different approaches work\n\n\n\nFeedback on interview technique and question style\n\n\n\nA useful evening for documentary and factual filmmakers\n\n\n\n\nYou do not need to bring anything special for this session\, just your curiosity and a willingness to get involved. \n\n\n\n\n\nNon-members welcome for the evening (first two nights free as our guests) Here is how to find us \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday 2nd June 2026Time: 7:45 pm – 10:15 pm
