Me and my fellow group member Hannah Montgomery created this draft of what we want our ‘Cultures’ page to look like on the website. We envisage the layout to look like this, and we told our web member we would prefer that when you hover over each image, that person’s profile comes up (name and culture) followed by their interview, as demonstrated in the image below.
These photographs were taken by our group’s photographer Chloe Jones.
The interviews weren’t going to be distributed evenly anyway due to the 8 interviews needed between 5 journalists but each journalist group member was supposed to interview at least one person each from different cultures for this page. However this did not end up being the case: Hannah (3 interviews) me (2 interviews) Luke (2 interviews) and Stuart (1 interview). Callum didn’t interview anyone, which is unfortunate in the sense it didn’t go as our group had planned. But Hannah and I sorted it out by making sure we had enough interviewees for the page, with back-ups also.
I set a word count of 200-250 words and provided the structure for each interview, for consistency. However one interview sent via email was far too short (the questions were longer than the answers!), so this group member had to refer back to the interviewee and get more from them to bulk up the word count to an acceptable figure.
These interviews took place over social messaging sites such as Facebook messages, and some took place via face-to-face interviews (such as both of mine).
The finalised culture content was sent to our web group member on Thursday 31st March, and now we wait for the web team to work their magic before we get to see the finished product on the BCUltural website!
