The Interview and Reflection on it!!

 It was really interseting the enivoment was to noisey for one and I knew that this would be the case I interviewed two artists it was really hard to talk I gave them the consent form and I didnt end up getting them back cause they wanted to take it away and read it and I guess that where the ethcial considernations come into it becuase I wanted the form to be signed and I thought that would be the case so I am thinking now if I cant get my questions answered in that envirvoment I might do it in an e-mail form I took there business card and I said that I will get to them via e-mail and they where fine with that. It was really interesting because the two Artist that I interveiwed one was an just coming out into the industry and the other artist has been in the industry for many years has I said I was really nevrse but I had to overcome that because that same fear would have stopped me.For a while I was questioning my Inqury whether or not I should do it but when I was interveiwing my passion for the Inqury really came up there would be a next Open Mic Night in March I am not gonna let this exprience from going to a next Open Mic Night because what I have realised every Open Mic Night is different so I will be preparing for that adjusting my questions slightly I will be blogging that have a nice evening guys.

Hello Guys, I hope you are all well.
I am going to an Open Mic Night tomorrow evening and I am quite nerves I am going to be  doing my interview with participants and i hope and pray it all goes well has i said I feel quite nerves but confident at the same time reflecting on how I am feeeling I think my confidents comes from my preparation i just need to believe much more in my questions which I am going to ask the participants I keep on looking at them and reading the questions to myself  Im just making sure it is not  a yes or no question.

A slight change to my Inquiry question

   
A little change to my inquiry question this was my original question ‘Are there benefits for an artist when performing at open mic nights?’  but when I spoke with  my adviser in my feedback session we spoke about the question and I soon noticed that it really is a yes or no answer so I have changed it to How do Artists feel they benefit from performing at Open Mic Night? I think me changing it to this it gives the participant more to think about and I think it will give them more free flow in answering the question..

6A Tools of Professional Inquiry.

 A Pilot interview for the host of Open Mic Nights.

* What are the positive aspects of hosting Open Mic?
* When people perform at Open Mic Nights do they gain anything?
* Do you have to be an artist to perform?

A pilot interview for the 'Praticipant' in Open Mic Nights.

* Do you think that open mic nights benefit you as a participant/performer if so how and why?
* How do you feel when performing at these events?
* Would you advice anyone with Talent/skills in song writing, poetry spoken word or cover songs to take part these nights if so why?
*Is there anything you will like to see improved with regards to open mic nights if so why?

Because of the environment and setting of the open mic nights, I had to take careful consideration in the choices of Inquiry Tools to be used, insiders to gain as much information for the pilot survey foquestionnaires to be given out and returned it will take a bit more time. So I found the most appropriate too was the interviews before any questions were asked, I handed out detailed consent forms, to with the 'Host' and the 'Participants' explaining my Inquiry below is a draft of this consent form.

5C

Ethics is one to take sersouisly as its one of the major contributory factors to a successful organisation . It covers such a wide range of issues which if unaware of its importance, it can lead to employees being disciplined as even 'sacked'. The rules and regulations of every employees must be respected and adhered to, where individuals must be respected, consent must be gained and confidentiality carried out inspite of a an individuals 'religious' beliefs, culture, morals, as background in an Open Mic Night session. 

5A Thoughts on Professional Ethics in Open Mic Nights part 3

When asked about the Professional Ethics in open mic nights, I found quite hard to go about as I was not sure of what the word 'ethics' meant. i later found out that it was related to moral principles framewroks. 'Moral refees to the night and wrong conduct/a persos standard of behavies. Having found and understand the meanings I had to think moral issues that I may have to face when entering Open Mic Nights. I know that before any Inqury could be carried out, I had to gain coment from both the host and the participants. Anyone who enters a Open Mic Night, whether it be as part of an audience as to participate, must abide by set rules, so that everyone is respected and protected in that environment. Taking photos, recording, and interveiws can only be carried out if given the 'go ahead' as confidentiality is one to be considered when it comes to  participants mights and wishes.
