Planning - scripting interview questions

What I discovered in my research and analysis with questions is that a short interview lasting 3-10 minutes would typically use around 7-9 questions. In the interviews, the most used questions asked about cosplay are;

- What is cosplay?
- What are you cosplaying as?
- Where do cosplay?
- Why do you cosplay?
- Whats the cosplay community like?
- What do your family/friends think of cosplay?
- What do you like about cosplay?
- How much does it cost?
- Who's your favourite character to cosplay?
- How long have you been cosplaying for?
- Whats a convention?
- Do you think the cosplay community is growing?
- Can cosplay get quite competitive?
- What got you into cosplay?
- How do you make a cosplay?
- Whats the most important thing about cosplay?
- When do you think you'll stop cosplaying?


There are a lot of questions listed, in which I cannot use all of the above in my documentary. I found out from my audience research that what the audience want to find out about cosplay is;

- How the outfit is put together and the effort put into it
- Interviews and why they like to cosplay
- The process of making the outfit

The most common response in my research to what the target audience want to find out was why they cosplay and how the make it, in which I will include these points in the questions I am asking. After looking into the research required, I have scripted my questions down to 8 based on most commonly asked questions in the interviews in my research and what the target audience want to know from the target audience research;

- What is cosplay?
- Who's your favourite character to cosplay?
- How much does it cost?
- How do you piece together your cosplay?
- Where do you cosplay?
- Why do you cosplay?
- What do you get out of cosplaying?
- What's the most important thing about cosplay?
