FW Chapter 5: 237-253: More Than Just an Interview of Words

Artifacts can be very useful and a great enhancer while conducting an interview. It can help the subject really remember their situation that you would like to know more about. Anything can be used as an artifact, even just a picture or what you would like to talk about. I find this very insightful and that it really could work to draw the attention of the person being interviewed. This also helps for the interview to be more comfortable for the person and the conversation to go more smoothly. This would be a great start to a story and really get the interview going. In my subculture I could show a picture of a work out machine or perhaps of a gym and it might help to place the person being interviewed at the spot. Therefore, I will be able to really get a connection to what I want to learn more about and they will be able to remember their feelings more clearly.
