Interview questions

 Welcome back to my blog! As the first post of the week, I wanted to go over my interview questions that I will be presenting. I have a bunch of them! While I don’t think I’ll be using all of them, I’d like for Gasim to be able to choose which one he specifically wants to do out of the selection. I organized them into groups for him so that at least one of each section get answered. I’ll explain the groups as we go on.




Inspiration & Creative Process: How exactly he came to these ideas

1. What first inspired you to use Music as a way to tell stories?

2. How do you come up with the stories you tell? Do they come from personal experiences, observations, or something else?

3. What themes or messages do you find yourself returning to in your work?

4. Do you plan your stories out in advance, or do they develop as you create?




Medium & Expression: How does he use his specific medium to effect people and why it’s different

5. How does Music help you express your story differently than other forms of storytelling?

6. What techniques do you use to make your stories more impactful or immersive?

7. How do you use elements like color, texture, movement, or sound to enhance your storytelling?

8. Are there limitations in your medium that force you to be more creative in how you tell a story?




Challenges & Evolution: the trials and tribulations he might have felt making them

9. Have you ever struggled to tell a story the way you envisioned it? How did you overcome that?

10. How has your approach to storytelling evolved over time?

11. Do you ever worry about how your stories will be received? How do you balance personal expression with audience interpretation?




Meaning & Connection: His intentions with his work

12. What do you hope people take away from your stories?

13. Do you see your work as a form of personal expression, a way to connect with others, or both?

14. Is there a particular story you’ve told that means the most to you? Why?

15. If someone were to interpret your work differently than you intended, how would you feel about that?

These interview questions should help me get a good conversation out of him as well as room for good background footage and b roll. That’s about it for today. Until next time!
