BBC 4 - Mipsterz in hijab
I took part in an interview titled 'Hip in a hijab' with producer Anna and presenter Shelina which involved me and a group of girls from my school answering question related to fashion and hijab.There were 2 interviews which took place- the first one took place in my school where presenter Shelina asked us about our hobbies, our fashion style and whether we thought the media hysteria about Muslims affected how young Muslim girls were viewed. Moreover, it was an opportunity to voice our opinions about hijab and the idea of 'oppression'.
The second interview which I took part in was in All Stars bowling ally, the producer wanted to create an upbeat atmosphere reflecting the idea that young Muslim girls are able to enjoy themselves. This was followed up with more questions on our opinion of leisure activities and whether Muslim young girls are any different to non-Muslim young girls.
I have learnt that the setting in which you are has a great impact, the fact that we went to a bowling session taught me that when presenting my newscasts I must be in an appropriate setting- so when I am recording I must ensure that I am at the scene of what I am reporting about as this creates an effective newscast.
