Commercials+and+Consumer+Society+-+Interview+Questions


 * Interview Questions:**

Due to time and resource constraints, I was only able to conduct my research with a small, specifically targeted pool of children. Further research on the topic may be performed with a larger, [|Nerf Stampede] more socially and economically diverse group to ensure that all demographics are accounted for. On April 24th, 2011 I interviewed and co-viewed and episode of iCarly with three children, aged 7-12. All three children were siblings, one boy (age 12) and two twin girls (age 7). I asked a series of questions before we watched the episode, half way through the episode, and at the end of the episode. We watched the iCarly episode entitled iTwins (2009). The interview questions and answers are listed below. //Sela: Girl, age 7// //Vanessa: Girl, age 7// //Remi: Boy, age 12// **Pre-Viewing:**  **1) Have you seen iCarly before?**  Sela: Yes Vanessa: Yes Remi: Yes  **2) What do you think about the show iCarly?**  Sela: Its the best Vanessa: Sam is really funny and she always is crazy and makes fun of people Remi: I used to watch it but I think its more of a girls show  **3) Can you tell me what a commercial is?**  Sela: Its like a TV Show Vanessa: I dont know Remi: Its in between two TV shows and they tell you about different things and toys  **4) Are there any toys you want to get?**  Sela: A Cars tow truck Vanessa: Polly Remi: A nerf gun  **After the first commercial pod:**  **1) What do you think about the show so far?**  Sela: I like it because its funny Vanessa: I like it Remi: Its pretty funny  **2) Are there any toys you want to get?**  Sela: I told you that I want the Cars tow truck Vanessa: I wanted either a barbie or a polly Remi: A nerf gun, either the blue one or the machine gun one  **3) Can you tell me about a commercial we just saw?**  Sela: I cant remember Vanessa: N/A Remi: Yeah there was the Mcdonalds one where you can get the transformer and also the spongebob movie one  **After the second commercial pod and conclusion of the episode:**  **1) What did you think of the episode?**  Sela: It was really really funny I liked it alot Remi: I thought it was funny but it was kinda girly.
