A GOOD/ BAD INTERVIEW

What is a good and bad interview?


POLITICS 


Russell Brand Vs Paxman 

I would say this is a example of a  good and a bad interview. The interview is very well structured and has a flow. Its a good interview in the sense that both Russell and Paxman are engaged in the interview. Paxman tries his best to get the information he wants from Russell by asking the same question in different format. However Russell tries to get his point across by answering Paxman question with a twisted answer. Throughout the interview both Paxman and Russell seem do have negative body language it seems as they both are trying to copy each other. For example: at the start at the interview paxman copy's brand by putting his arm on the chair in a uncomfortable position , they both copy each other throughout the interview. On the other hand Russell body make it seem like his sitting at home rather in a professional interview. Also Russell uses big words to make himself seem he is really clever when their is no need to make himself look clever. Another example shows that both individuals hate each other because Paxman calls Russell "ferocious" because Russell doesn't agree with the current government. Paxman needs to be open-minded and listen to Russell's view on the political system Russell is very desperate to get his point across, which is why he gets angry and raises his voice slightly but controls it. Also Paxman talks over Russell when he is giving his opinion about the political system. However I do feel after seeing the interview Paxman was being rude to Russell even though Russell gave Paxman time to interview. Overall I do think it is a good interview in same ways such as the question which are asked are structured and the conversation in flowing. However I do think in some ways its a bad interview, because both individual talk over each other and copy each others body language and Paxman is being rude and vain.
