The document provides information about planning a news article interview with Daniel Radcliffe. It discusses the pros and cons of two different article structures - a free-flowing descriptive article or a question and answer (Q&A) format. The writer decides a Q&A would be best to get more information directly from Radcliffe and build a relationship between him and the audience. Key elements that could be included from a Q&A are quotes, questions that make the reader think, and factual information.
Daniel Radcliffe is known for playing Harry Potter but has since taken on unconventional roles in independent films. He is modest and down-to-earth, choosing unusual stories over handsome hero roles. Radcliffe is open about his career and interests, which include old British sitcoms. He remains fond of Potter but is happy for the franchise to continue without him, and is curious about the new play focusing on Harry's son. Radcliffe's humility and curiosity make him an unusual film star.
Here are a few key reasons why I think you would be better suited producing a free-flowing article rather than a question-and-answer format:
1. Voice and perspective - As you noted, a free-flowing article allows you as the journalist to include your own voice, observations, and perspective throughout the piece. This gives it a more personal and engaging tone. A Q&A is more straightforward without that additional context and commentary.
2. Depth and detail - Telling the story in a narrative format allows you to go into more depth on topics and provide richer descriptive details. You're not confined to short question/answer exchanges. This gives the reader a better sense of your subject as a person.
Here are a few key reasons why I think a free-flowing article would be better than a question-and-answer format for this interview with Harry Styles:
1. It allows for more context and background. A free-flowing format gives space to provide context about who Harry Styles is, One Direction's success, and set the scene for the interview. This helps readers understand him and the topics better.
2. It's more engaging and personal. With narration from the journalist's perspective, a free-flowing interview feels more like readers are experiencing a real conversation. It engages them more than just a series of short questions.
3. Harry Styles' personality can come through more.
Harry Styles of the boy band One Direction was thrilled to be named Billboard's Top New Artist of 2012, capping an amazing year for the band after cracking the American market. While performing at the VMAs was a highlight, Styles noted the personal highlight was performing at the Olympics where all of their families could be there. Styles is excited for their upcoming concert film which will capture their journey on camera and allow them to look back on it in the future.

The author feels a free-flowing article is a better fit for both the genre and their writing abilities.

Based on your analysis, I would choose to do a Q&A style article rather than a free flowing article for the following three reasons:
1. The Q&A style is simpler and more straightforward to write since it involves posing questions and recording answers rather than crafting longer descriptive paragraphs. This format would better suit my current writing abilities.
2. My primary research found that readers prefer less writing and more imagery, which the Q&A style provides through its brevity and inclusion of quotes from the subject. It would therefore be a more effective style for my intended audience.

4. ANALYSIS OF FREE-FLOWING ARTICLE
Since graduating from Hogwarts, the decidedly unstarry Daniel Radcliffe has played devils, confused poets and, now,
Frankenstein’s hunchbacked sidekick. Olly Richards meets Britain’s oddest film star.
Fame teaches you many things: how to outrun paparazzi, how to respond to mobs of fans, how to endure a breakfast
TV interview without screaming. It does not, apparently, prepare you for the complexities of making coffee. Bouncing
into a huge wood-panelled conference room above the photography studio where he’s just been shot for NME’s
cover, Daniel Radcliffe is presented with a cup and reaches for the sweeteners. “How many of these are you supposed
to use?” he asks, merrily clicking little white pellets into his drink. Each of those is one sugar, we tell him. You’ve just
given yourself seven sugars. “Oh, right,” he laughs. “Well, we’ll leave that then.”
You half-expect Daniel Radcliffe to have an entourage of people to dispense his sweeteners for him. He is stupidly
famous. Playing Harry Potter, he led one of the biggest film series in history to take over £5billion at the world box
office. He is worth, according to the Sunday Times Rich List, around £69million. He should be swaggering around in
furs, eating swans and doing drugs off antique mirrors. But Radcliffe’s the antithesis of all that. He is not like other
movie stars. We don’t mean that in the usual clichéd way, as when a celebrity profile declares its subject “down to
earth” because they ate carbohydrates and weren’t paraded in on a throne. Daniel Radcliffe is odd. Good odd. He is
Britain’s weirdest film star and we love him for it.
Consider the evidence: Since Potter ended, his roles have included a haunted lawyer (The Woman In Black), a man
turning into a devil (Horns), a singing corporate climber (How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, on stage), a
sexually confused beat poet (Kill Your Darlings) and a doctor who has imaginary conversations with his older self (The
Young Doctor’s Notebook). Then there’s his latest role in Victor Frankenstein, his first studio movie since Potter. He plays
Igor, the otherworldly, hunchbacked assistant in an imagined origin story that details the peculiar early experiments of
young Frankenstein (played by James McAvoy). These are the career choices of a burgeoning indie actor, not a man so
famous he has his own Lego range and has been parodied on The Simpsons.
“No, I don’t really have mainstream tastes,” he says. “People do ask me, ‘Why do you choose such weird movies?’ but I
don’t think they’re weird, they’re just stories I’m interested in. Isn’t having weird tastes good, though? I think so. I think
that’s better than always wanting to play the handsome hero. You think I’m weird? I’ll take that.”
5. He doesn’t, however, agree that coming back to studio films is a sign he’s ready to accept being ‘a big deal’ again. “No,
although that’s a nice theory,” he smiles. “There’s no significance to it. Doing studio movies is fun because you get to do
stuff that you mostly wouldn’t get to do on an indie movie, in terms of action. There is a part of me that, because I grew
up doing it, loves that stuff and really misses it. Frankenstein was just the most interesting and original script I’d seen
from a studio. It looked like fun to make, and it was.”
It is, as rollicking blockbusters go, smarter than most, playing with ideas of science vs religion, heart vs mind, while also
finding room for a fight with a zombie monkey. “It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but it has a nice intellectual debate
at the heart of it,” says Radcliffe.
Radcliffe is handsome but in quite a normal way – he has what your mum might call “a nice face” – which means he’s
not obvious leading man material, and at around 5’5”, he’s a bit small to be an action star (though that never stopped
Tom Cruise). Today, dressed all in black and with his hair sharply cropped as a souvenir from a recently completed role
in Imperium, playing an FBI agent posing as a neo-Nazi, he should look intimidating. Yet he’s so effusively cheerful that
he just looks… tidy. He’s 26 now, but clean-shaven, he could pass for much younger. He’s got a character actor’s face,
which means he can do those strange lead roles your more traditional leading man couldn’t.
“I had a huge amount to prove [after Potter],” continues Radcliffe. “Proving that you can be a young actor and not be a
complete fucking disaster when you grow up. That is the – quite unfair I think – image that people have of young
actors. There are a huge number of child actors who grow up fine. Always with my career in film, I saw Potter as an
amazing beginning to it. I’m sure I’ll never hit that kind of commercial peak again but very, very few people will.”
For someone who has lived with press intrusion since the age of 11, Radcliffe is an open interviewee. What was he into
as a kid? “The Simpsons… but I was also obsessed with Yes, Minister.” The 1980s sitcom that was made before you
were born? “Yes!” He puts his hands on the arms of his chair, as he does whenever he’s about to launch into a subject
that really excites him. “I used to watch that every night before I went to bed when I was about 15. I still think it’s one
of the best British sitcoms ever… And one of my favourite films is A Matter Of Life And Death, with David Niven… He
has to go to court in Heaven. It’s sweet and funny but so weird.” These are the kind of references you’d expect from
someone twice Radcliffe’s age. He shrugs. “I like things that do whatever the fuck they want at all times.”
Radcliffe’s frankness extends to discussing more personal matters, which in the past have included losing his virginity to
an older woman and problems with alcohol, long since given up. Most recently, in an interview with Playboy, there was
the surprising admission of masturbating during the production of Harry Potter…
“What?” he says, confused, but not angry. “I didn’t say I wanked on set!”
6. He gets out his phone to find the interview, which doesn’t take long as there are many, many Google hits. “Oh God,”
he says, flopping back in his seat. “It’s frustrating when you tell a story and say, ‘Yes, I wanked a lot when I was a
teenager,’ but clearly I didn’t mean on set.” He straightens up in his seat. “Can you make this clear for me: I was not
wanking during the filming of Potter – I managed to restrain myself until I got home.” Consider the matter closed. Let’s
wash our hands of it, so to speak.
Radcliffe wears his fame lightly, remembering a key incident from the height of Pottermania. “I was at Reading Festival
and I was standing behind a guy who’d been on reality TV. He was really, really hated and I saw the shit he took from
that crowd. Stuff chucked at him, people swearing at him… I was 16 and was all, ‘Oh man I can’t go anywhere.’ Then I
had that moment of realisation that, holy sh*t, I am really lucky to be famous for something that people really like.
There are far worse things to be famous for, and this is something that still seems to be genuinely important to so
many people in a really sweet way.”
If Radcliffe is fed up with discussing Potter, and he has every reason to be, he doesn’t show it. In fact, he brings up the
subject, talking about how strange it is that it’s only four years since the film series ended, because it feels so long
ago. He can’t escape it, but he doesn’t want to. Which is good because the Potter universe has started expanding
again.
We meet on the day that the first images were revealed of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, the 1920s-set
Potter spin-off that stars Eddie Redmayne as a magical explorer who collects bizarre creatures. Radcliffe hasn’t seen
the pictures and jumps up to look at them on my phone, clocking Redmayne’s swishy cerulean coat and barking, “Oh
fuck you, Eddie, in your brilliant costume… I got jeans and a zip top for 10 years and you’ve got a greatcoat already?”
JK Rowling is not just expanding into the Potter universe’s past, but also its future. Next year will see the West End
opening of the play Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, not a sequel to Potter but a continuation of Harry’s story,
focusing on his youngest son, Albus, who is struggling with all that comes with the Potter name. Harry is now
unhappily employed at the Ministry of Magic (basically a wizard civil servant).
What’s it like knowing someone else is going to play Harry? “It’s weird,” he says. “But I’m happy for it to go on without
me. I’ve no ownership of it.” Would he go and see it? “Now that I know [Harry’s in it] I actually really want to see it. It
would be a mental thing to try and see it with lots of very excited Harry Potter fans. But I kind of would like to know
what happens now.”
7. He goes all wistful for a minute. “I’d always thought in the years after Potter finished that it would die down, but it’s just
grown more because the people who were massive Harry Potter fans in their teens are now adults. So you meet them
more. They’re not at home with their parents, they’re out in the world. It always amazes me when someone says what a
huge part of their childhood it was. I still have a natural reserve that makes me go, ‘Oh don’t be so silly, I wasn’t
responsible for your childhood.’ But I think about the stuff that means a lot for me from my childhood, like The Simpsons,
and how, when I did a voice on The Simpsons I got a signed thing from Matt Groening and that was so fucking exciting.
The thought that I might occupy that space in somebody else’s childhood…”
Maybe it’s not the roles he’s taken since Potter that make him unusual. Maybe it’s not even his bizarre affinity for
granddad TV shows. Maybe the thing that makes Daniel Radcliffe Britain’s oddest film star is that he hasn’t ever quite
realised that he’s a film star at all. It doesn’t seem to have sunk in that he’s Daniel bloody Radcliffe.

9. Harry Styles has the devil may care hair, a dimple that's melted a million hearts, and now that girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
The 18-year-old Englishman is also a member of One Direction, the saviors of boy band virtue and Billboard's Top New
Artist of 2012 . We caught up with Styles, briefly, on the phone recently.
Congrats on being named Billboard's Top New Artist of 2012. How does it feel?
It's been an amazing year for us. We've been having such a great time since when we first came to the U.S. It's been
absolutely crazy and amazing.
At this time last year, what was your outlook on 2012 and possibly cracking America?
We looked at this album as a very big deal. It's a good feeling obviously to work with everyone and put everything out
with the team that's worked so hard to get us this far. It's been absolutely incredible.
I'm told you're the music guy in the groups who's always turning others on to new bands. What's your personal taste
like?
I actually get a lot of music from my sister, who's into all these bands. She's been listening to and downloading stuff
that I get from her. A lot of times suggested stuff comes on iTunes I'll have a look at it, or the fans will send me things.
But I've been listening to The Lumineers. I love their album and also Elvis Perkins, he's great.
You guys accomplished a lot in 2012, but what's your personal highlight?
For me the Olympics literally can't be topped. Just the feeling of being in that room, all our families were there. The
whole feeling was just unbelievable.
10. What about performing at the VMAs, where you also won three awards?
There was something about being in the room and the whole kind of atmosphere that really surprised me. To be on that
stage and perform was unbelievable. I think it kind of felt like people learned a bit more about the One Direction thing.
It felt like we were making music where people of all kinds could appreciate.
You've got a concert film up next. What can we expect?
We're excited. I think we've had cameras on us for a long time, we've just been filming a lot of stuff. It's just gonna be
exciting to watch it back. Just to have the ability to be able to kind of look back at that while we're older and to have
your children see it will be amazing.
• Informal words in LIGHT BLUE
• How would I change them to formal?
I would make them less conversational and more like a thought through piece of writing.
I would also take all the hedges ‘kind of’ ‘a bit’ ‘I think’ out to make the writing have
more certainty.
• Key phrases and why I like them?
“I think it kind of felt…” makes Harry Styles seem a nice person and the softening of his
language makes it sound genuine.
“I actually get a lot of music from my sister” creating a relationship between Harry and
the audience as they may relate to having a sibling.
11. • Do I like Q&A and why?
I do like a Q&A as it gets a lot of information out of the artist/band for the audience, building
more of a relationship between them. It is also interesting to find out new things. It
entertains and reflects the artists’/bands’ attitude towards what they’re saying.
