Research: Brown Sugar -- Interview

The beginning of the film features an interview with hip-hop greats such as Common, Method Man, Jermaine Dupri etc. and they all answer the question "When did you first fall in love with hip-hop?". I like how the individuals interviews have been edited together because it produces one story - one narrative. I hope to achieve this when I begin to construct my article after I've completed my interviews.

Whilst watching the beginning of Brown Sugar and reflecting on the articles I've read that feature interviews with more than one person, I noticed a difference in the creation of a piece based on interviews for print and film. In film, when editing together what people have had to say, putting together clips of people saying the same thing/giving the same response, has an effect. It emphasises the prevalence of whatever is being said. However, I haven't seen this applied to print pieces or articles, suggesting that it doesn't have the same effect. Most probably because an audience can't receive the feeling, opinion or emotion that is trying to be put across by reading an article based on interviews, it may only be received when an audience is listening or watching something based on interviews.
