Step 4: Summarize It
FILMING
When you get back from the field, complete an objective written summary of the interview, highlighting
the information you believe to be relevant and important and why you believe it to be so. Remember,
gut instincts are often right!
Step 5: Archive and Protect It
Archive the testimony and protect it from being used in ways that are not authorized. If possible, seek
expert help to ensure your footage is protected and won’t fall into the wrong hands.
Step 6: Learn From Your Experience
Consider what you learned from the experience, so you may improve your interviewing efforts the next
time you go into the field.
