Interview 1

I conducted my first interview today. My interviewee was Erika McCarden, a producer who has worked at Disney, ABC, and currently works at OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). She provided me with an abundance of great answers, as well as many sources to read that will help me in my project and beyond. I am happy to report that Erika was able to answer the questions very thoroughly, which led to me asking more questions than the ones listed on the interviewcontract. Even though Erika has worked in TV production, she was still able to speak about the different stages with great detail. Due to this interview, I have found it easier to narrow down specifically what part of production I will be focusing on, as well as what I may want to pursue once I enter the field. All in all, my first interview has been an extremely beneficial experience.
