Ideas for Street Interviews

I love candid street interviews. When the majority of your time is spent interacting exclusively with information and people within your particular specialty (medicine, engineering, banking, real estate), seeing the “average” person’s response to media related questions can be startling. Because we are always so sure everyone thinks in the same wave we do. Just off the top of my head, these would make great street interview questions. If I had a crew I would love to film these:

1. Who is Edward Snowden? Is he a man of conscience or a traitor?

2. How big is a BitCoin?

3. What is the God particle?

4. Does the NSA know what you ate for lunch?

5. What is a drone?

6. “I don’t own a TV” – Cool? Embarrassing? Normal?
