The first story I listened to was that of Ashley Cosby and her husband Nicholas. In this story they describe how they keep her father’s memory alive by fixing up old cars just like he used to do. The audio quality is very crisp and clear, as you can hear the speakers’ voices clearly and there is little to no background sound that isn’t meant to be there or detracts attention from the story of the speakers. There is no third person interviewing them during the video but there is the little explanation at the beginning before it begins. It’s a bit interesting because the people getting interviewed became the interviewers when the husband starts asking his wife questions that she responds to.
The entire thing is a conversation because of the two people being interviewed at once. Even though the interviewer is not speaking it is still a conversation and the two are bouncing off of each other in the interview. As for background music, there was none used during the actual interview. There was some for the intro and the outro, but when it came to the people talking it stayed quiet throughout.
The second story that I listened to was that of Lisa and Kendall, who went to a protest of the removal of a white nationalist monument and were in the crowd of counter protestors that got run into by a vehicle. The audio quality is once again very clear and there is little to no background noise to distract the listener. This includes the music, because much like the last one the music wasn’t included in the interview itself and it was allowed to play out in silence besides the voices of the women.
The interviewer was not used I believe. Although there are two women being interviewed, throughout it we only really hear one woman talk and another one interject once or twice. I assume the other one had to be the other woman because if it was the interviewer then it would make no sense to even include the other woman in the description. Regardless, due to there being two people speaking to each other, the entire interview carried like a conversation rather than a solo narrative.
