task 6a continued....my pilot interview

Here are the questions i used for my pilot interview which i conducted over skype with Hannah a member of my SIG. I decided to conduct a semi structured interview with a set of themed questions that also allowed flexibility for the participants answers, allowing them to elaborate or expand on their answers where they felt necessary. Before asking my questions at the start of my interview i explained to Hannah the basic outline of my research and what i aim to achieve. I also informed her that if at any time she feels uncomfortable with a question or the conversation she is free to stop.  As it was a skype interview i was unable to record hannahs answers, so written notes were taken throughout.
