For our video essay we had decided from the beginning that our main focus would be about people’s different opinions on learning foreign languages. This meant that we had to find people to interview and ask them a range of questions which we could later use in our video as reference,  we asked each different person a different question from our list.

1. Why do you think it is important to learn a language?
2. What language do you know or have ever learnt?
3. What benefits do you think there are with learning a foreign langauge for a future career?
4. Are there any langauges you would like to learn and why?
5. Are you an international student? If so, how do you find learning in a second langauge?

We soon realised that asking random students/lecturers was going to be a,otherwise harder than we imagined as most people made excuses as they did not want to be filmed. However we did find a few nice people that gave excellence answers and once again gave surprising responses. We found it a lot easier to ask people questions 1 and 2, however in some responses many people answered question 3 also. We had to make sure that we asked each person for their permission to film them and get them to sign a ethic consent former and we made sure that we would include their names on the final video. We had to include this format as it was a signature for them to give their permission to us for using their identity.
