Week 23: Reflection on Practice - Interview.

AND FINALLY - an interview was completed.

It was certainly a task trying to organise an interview. Originally, I was planning an interview with a former lecturer at The University of Dundee who currently resides in France. Trying to organise this was extremely difficult as he did not wish to partake in a skype interview. Thankfully, a helpful lecturer still working at the university agreed to partake in a face-to-face interview.

The interviewee is a senior lecturer of psychology and neuroscience at The University of Dundee and also had an interest in film and television.

The comments made by the participant were hugely insightful and enlightening.
I cannot stress enough how helpful the interview has turned out to be in regards to my research. The participant was not only generous with thoughts and information, but also with their time. The interview, with the participant's permission, lasted an hour and half, this will certainly be a lengthy job to transcribe, nevertheless, it was an extremely rewarding experience.

I found that the psychological input certainly connected a few elements of my research as I had intended, but it mostly surprised me.

I began to find other possible routes that my research could take, and if I go on to do a PhD, I would most certainly further this investigation.
