Interviewee 2 (from Africa)
1. Micro film
Q1: Do you expect the host to interact more with “people” or with “places”?
I think there will be more focus on the places. This is the whole point of the microfilm, right? You are introducing the places to them, so there is no way there will be more focus on the filming itself other than the information you have on the questionnaire. I expect the focus should be on the places, namely the tourist attractions, themselves.
Q2: What style do you want the microfilm to be? E.g. documentary style / romantic style / family style / funny & playful / encouraging etc.
I want the style of the microfilm to be a documentary. More formal and organized, I think.
2. Gesture
Q1: Would you like to see the host with upper or lower hand gestures (above or below shoulders)? Why or why not?
Upper hand gestures would be better. It would look more professional.
Q2: Would you like to see the host to hold things while demonstrating or introducing a tourist spot? Why or why not?
That would be better. It will make your introduction clearer for your viewers.
Q3: Would you like to see the host to have gestures while talking about keywords or just randomly show the gestures? Why or why not?
I think putting emphases on keywords would be better. That is the difference between listening to a legend and watching TV. So if you put emphases on keywords, people would understand it much better.
3. Host
Q1: Among the three samples, which hosts do you like the most? The host in our video will then follow her / his way of hosting a show.
The BBC one.
Q2: Can you please give me three reasons why you like the host?
Q3: Can you elaborate on why you don’t like the host(s) in the other two videos?
The way she was introducing the place…it was natural. She wasn’t playful. The last one…the host was, like…she wasn’t serious. She was doing it because she has nothing to do. The first one is quite professional. The second one…I don’t like it because it is like…he is reading from a script like someone from a TV station. It is the same as writing an article and submitting it to a publisher. It wasn’t like a microfilm at all.
57 4. Country Music
Q1: Which country music do you like the most? Why?
The first one.
Q2: Do you think we should use the same music throughout the video? why or why not?
You could have the first one and the last one in the video. I hate the second one.
Q3: Do you have other suggestions for the use of background music?
No.
5. Subtitles
Q1: Which subtitle samples do you like the most? Why?
I like the third one. The main reason is…the point of a microfilm, you want the visual effect, right? You want people to see the host. You don’t want to put many words on the screen. You want to see the gestures of host, so one line or two lines to display the subtitles would be better.
Q2: Do you have other suggestions for the subtitle?
No. I don’t have any.
58
Interviewee 3 (from Canada)
1. Micro film
Q1: Do you expect the host to interact more with “people” or with “places”?
Maybe places. If people are the focus, they will block the view behind them. I want to see the view.
Q2: What style do you want the microfilm to be? E.g. documentary style / romantic style / family style / funny & playful / encouraging etc.
I would go for funny & playful. So it will attract people to the places introduced.
2. Gesture
Q1: Would you like to see the host with upper or lower hand gestures (above or below shoulders)? Why or why not?
Upper gestures. It will grab the audience’s attention. With lower hand gestures, the audience may miss the places talked about.
Q2: Would you like to see the host to hold things while demonstrating or introducing a tourist spot? Why or why not?
Maybe not necessary.
Q3: Would you like to see the host to have gestures while talking about keywords or just randomly show the gestures? Why or why not?
I want to have random, natural gestures. No need to put emphasis on keywords. Or if you want to emphasize the keywords, you can give the subtitles different colors to single them out.
3. Host
Q1: Among the three samples, which hosts do you like the most? The host in our video will then follow her / his way of hosting a show.
I love the second one because his facial expressions are especially vivid. His energy is felt by me too. Besides, he is filming inside a studio, which comes with lots of
advantages, such as good voice quality.
Q2: Can you please give me three reasons why you like the host?
Q3: Can you elaborate on why you don’t like the host(s) in the other two videos?
The hosts in the third one are not professional. It is like they are simply filming for their IG story.
59 4. Country Music
Q1: Which country music do you like the most? Why?
I like the first one because it gets a country vibe. It fits Hualien.
Q2: Do you think we should use the same music throughout the video? why or why not?
When the host is speaking, the background music can be turned off or fade out.
Q3: Do you have other suggestions for the use of background music?
Some people download the music online, yet sometimes the music quality can be damaged.
If possible, you can record the music from a CD.
5. Subtitles
Q1: Which subtitle samples do you like the most? Why?
The last one is worst with subtitles taking up too much space. I don’t like it. I would like to have the last one. Sometimes people can refer back to the previous lines if they miss them accidentally or don’t pick up the message.
Q2: Do you have other suggestions for the subtitle?
Don’t choose fancy subtitles because sometimes they can be hard to understand. Just stick to simple, clear, intelligible subtitles.

Interact with more than one local people
Q2: What style do you want the microfilm to be? E.g. documentary style / romantic style / family style / funny & playful / encouraging etc.
Documentary, funny and playful, a bit like TV program
2. Gesture
Q1: Would you like to see the host with upper or lower hand gestures (above or below shoulders)? Why or why not?
I think it depends on if you’re talking about the view, you’ll need higher gestures; however, if it is something small, then the lower gestures.
Q2: Would you like to see the host to hold things while demonstrating or introducing a tourist spot? Why or why not?
I like some humor and playful features inside and some imitate style so with props is better.
Q3: Would you like to see the host to have gestures while talking about keywords or just randomly show the gestures? Why or why not?
Yeap, I think showing some keywords may be helpful for people who want to know the name of the place better. It’s better if you can have Chinese and English together
3. Host
Q1: Among the three samples, which hosts do you like the most? The host in our video will then follow her / his way of hosting a show.
Q2: Can you please give me three reasons why you like the host?
Q3: Can you elaborate on why you don’t like the host(s) in the other two videos?
For the first one, it’s like a news report.
For the second one, it’s interesting. However, it gives me the feeling that have you been there by yourself. The hosts don’t feel related to the place.
For the third one, I think it’s fun. More of the third one, I like the first one, she is like the reporter interviewing the local people. It’s a good way to show the view. It’ll be harder to have yourself and other people in.
For the second one, when you show the footage of that place, you still have people inside as well.
