COMPARING TWO INTERVIEWS

1. IS COMFORTABLE AND AT EASE THROUGH OUT INTERVIEW - WITH OBVIOUS RAPPORT

2. COMFORT/RAPPORT

2.1. ALTHOUGH A CONFIDENT SPEAKER, BECOMES LESS ACCOMMODATING AS INTERVIEW PROGRESSES, THIS IS HER FIRST INTERACTION WITH MP

3. PURPOSE/ATMOSPHERE

3.1. MADE TO INFORM - SERIOUS; AWKWARD; FORMAL; CHALLENGE OF WILLS; RUDE?; DEFENSIVE

3.2. MADE TO ENTERTAIN - AFTER WATERSHED (9PM) - SO AUDIENCE ADULTS; JR AND DB ON EQUAL FOOTING SHARED COMMON DIALECT CAUSES COMMORADARY

4. CONFIDENCE

4.1. DUBIOUS AND UNCOMFORTABLE - UNSURE OF ANSWER "I DID?" ATTEMPTS TO BE FORMAL AND ORDERLY BUT QUICKLY BECOMES UNCOMFORTABLE; MP BEGINS TO ATTACK MR WHO BECOMES UNWILLING TO SHARE; CLOSES UP; FEELING ATTACKED?

5. BACK CHANNELLING

5.1. NONE - EVEN GOES AS FAR AS TO DISPUTE OR SHUT DOWN WHAT MP SAYS

5.2. MANY - WHICH SHOW HE IS LISTENING TO JR AND IS ENGAGED N REACTION

6. ELLIPSIS

6.1. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF INFORMALITY IS THE RELAXED GRAMMAR USED BY JR, BUT NO EXAMPLES OF DB - MAYBE DUE TO VOICE TRAINING JR USES IT AS INFORMALITY - 2 FRIENDS CHATTING RATHER THAN STRUCTURED INTERVIEW

7. QUESTIONS

7.1. JR OPENS WITH A TAG QUESTION "...OCD HAVENT YOU?...."THE OPPOSITE TO MP I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ATTEMPT ON JR SIDE TO OPEN UP HIS STATEMENT TO A QUESTION TO GIVE DB A CHANCE TO ENGAGE AND HELP EVOLVE THE INTERVIEW - SHARING THE DRIVING SEAT WITH DB

7.2. MP BEGINS INTERVIEW WITH A STATEMENT DESIGNED AS A QUESTION AND FOLLOWED IT UP WITH ANOTHER STATEMENT DISGUISED AS A QUESTION. THIS HINTS AT A PSYCHOLOGICALLY AGGRESSIVE AND HOSTILE TEMPERAMENT - WHICH HELPS TO EXPLAIN THE LACK OF WILLINGNESS AND FORTHCOMING FROM MR. THE QUESTION IS ALSO CLOSED ENDED - MEANING MR CAN NOT TRULY DIRECT THE INTERVIEW - AND ALL THE CONTROL REMAINS WITH MP JUST AS PLANNED AND STRUCTURED

8. ACCENT; STUDY 2010 SUBCONSCIOUSLY - FAMILIAR ACCENT CAUSES EASE 2006 STUDY SPEECH IMPEDIMENTS MAKE MORE SYMPATHETIC

8.1. MID ATLANTIC - COMFORTABLE WITH OWN IDOLECT

8.2. LONDONER -CRITICISED FOR IDOLECT (PITCH AND ACCENT) ELEQUTION LESSONS - STANDARD BRITISH JR S.I. MAKES MORE EMPATHETIC AND HIGHLIGHTS RELAXED - UN TRAINED VOICE

9. EDUCATION

9.1. DROPPED OUT FINAL YEAR OF JOURNALISM - ACTING "JUST OVER TOOK" - DOESNT COME NATURAL

9.2. HAS O - LEVELS NO FURTHER EDUCATION - KNEW HE WANTED TO BE FOOTBALLER FROM TEENS

10. ADJACENCY PAIRS

10.1. MIDDLE OF INTERVIEW - SO LACK OF ADJACENCY PAIRS OR PHATIC TALK VIEWING OF BEGINNING SHOWS THEY EXISTED

10.2. WHOLE INTERVIEW -NO ADJACENCY PAIRS OR PHATIC TALK - POSSIBLY TO CREATE STRICTER; FORMAL GENUINE INTERVIEW ATMOSPHERE - LIKE PSYCHOLOGIST ("THAT'S FOR YOU TO DEBATE" SOUNDS PSYCHOLOGIST)

11. ELLISON - DB RELAXES VOICE TRAINING BUT DOESN'T COMPLETELY LET GO & MR NOT ONLY ANNUNCIATES ALL, BUT PAUSES FOR TURN TAKING WITH MP

11.1. MINIMAL AMOUNT OF INFORMAL SPEECH OR INCOMPLETE WORDS (ELLISON) HEIGHTENS STIFFNESS AND DISCOMFORT FORMAL ATMOSPHERE

11.2. LOT OF RELAXED INCOMPLETE AND CONTRACTED WORDS AND PHRASES THAT HIGHLIGHT THE RELAXED INFORMALITY AND EASE AND FAMILIARITY THAT COMES WITH PREVIOUS RAPPORT AND SIMILAR DIALIECTS

12. FALSE STARTS & FILLERS & REPAIRS

12.1. 2 MAIN EXAMPLES BY JR - WHO IS MOST RELAXED IN BOTH TRANSCRIPTS - SEEM TO BE USED TO ADD HUMOUR TO THE TRANSCRIPT THIS ALONG WITH HEAVY PRESENCE OF FILLERS SUPPORTS THE THEORY OF A LESS STRUCTURED INTERVIEW RELYING ON AUDIENCE AND DB REACTIONS AND NATURAL FLOW

12.2. NO FALSE STARTS OR FILLERS; SUPPORTS IDEA THAT EACH LINE AND QUESTION WERE PLANNED IN GREAT DETAIL BEFOREHAND (AND HIS DETERMINATION THAT HE IS RIGHT)- ALSO SHOWS MORE EXPERIENCE ON MP'S BEHALF THAN JR WHO HAS NUMEROUS SELF REPAIRS DUE TO THE RELAXED STYLE AND LACK OF TURN TAKING

12.3. SOME MAY ARGUE MP DID SELF CORRECT "DID YOU - ARE YOU DENYING THAT?" I BELIEVE IT WAS DELIBERATE RE- ARRANGEMENT OF THE QUESTION IN ORDER TO GIVE NEGATIVE FEELINGS "ARE YOU DENYING.." SUGGESTS GUILT IS ALREADY ACCEPTED

13. BODY LANGUAGE - SITTING BACK

13.1. SITTING BACK BECAUSE DEFENSIVE. PROTECTING HERSELF AS MP SITS FORWARD INVADING PERSONAL SPACE LIKE BULLY

13.2. SITTING BACK BECAUSE COMPLETELY RELAXED, DOESN'T FEEL NEED TO PUT ON GRACE AND AIRS. HOWEVER, SITS STRAIGHT AND SUIT STILL IMPECCABLE - STILL HASN'T FORGOTTEN ELOCUTION LESSONS
