Double page spread text analysis

I want my text to be filled full of information about The Creep as this is the first interview he has ever done so not many people know much about him. I decided to use the intimate image of him on page 6 with the information on his background as it think they correspond well with each other considering the vulnerability of both features. The interview was a tricky feature to organise as I wasn't sure what questions to ask, but in the end I decided I needed to include the musical side of The Creep as well as getting to know him, because after all it is a music magazine.

The interview.

I started off with a question that would set the tone of the interview, "so you've come a long way since your departure from the Artful Sinners haven't you?"
This puts the artist at ease as I have asked him a question that infers that I think he has come a long way, so he feels relaxed, this communicates with the audience making the atmosphere feel informal but professional. The interview was not a set of set questions as the next question is a reply to the response of the Creep, this again shows the relaxed nature of the interview, it's these questions that delve in deep that intrigue the audience. These response questions also make the audience feel an air of unpredictability as they do not know what is going to be said next because the interview is not a set of strict generic question. It also makes the audience feel as though they are in control as they are the voice of the interviewer that is putting The Creep on the spot.
The creepy story had to be brought down a couple of levels as I included the details of the gruesome ordeal, which after consideration was too much for a music magazine, although it represented my magazine well because garage music is for people with a street life lifestyle which many of these people will experience the reality of the harsh realities of life.
There are a lot of revelations about Artful Sinners as the questions involve comparing the band to solo life, however some of the revelations are controversial as the questions didn't involve an answer that detailed about the ins and outs of the bands doings. This could provoke a response from the remaining members of the Artful Sinners which could lead a future issue of the magazine, keeping the audience interested.
