when filming our documentary, we made sure that the questions we asked our interviewees were relatable in terms of the subject matter so in this case bodybuilding. we also had to make sure that the questions were easy to understand and therefore the interviewees could answer them without thinking about them too much so that the flow of the interview was smoother. we also had to make sure that the questions didn't require too long an answer as this would have made the documentary too long and would have made the documentary boring to watch.
