Contre Sens 2: My Totally Unexpected Prime Video Interview Experience!
Hey everyone! So, you know how sometimes life throws you a curveball? Well, landing an interview for Contre Sens 2 on Prime Video was definitely one of those moments. I never expected it, honestly. I mean, I'm a huge fan of the series, obsessed even – binge-watched the first season in, like, two days – but interviewing the creators? That was a total shock.
The Unexpected Email & My Initial Panic
It all started with a random email. I almost deleted it, thinking it was spam. Subject line? Something like, "Contre Sens 2 Interview Request." My heart leaped into my throat. I reread it five times, checked the sender – legit! – and then I basically hyperventilated. I'm usually pretty chill, but this... this was big. I'd spent years building my blog, writing about French cinema, and suddenly, this?
I immediately started freaking out. What if I messed up? What if I said something stupid? What if they regretted inviting me? I spent the next hour pacing my apartment, muttering to myself. I even considered politely declining! But my inner fan girl won out. I had to do this.
Preparing for the Big Day: Research is Key!
Okay, panic aside. Time to get organized. I dove headfirst into researching Contre Sens 2. I rewatched the trailer (multiple times!), read every article I could find, and even delved into interviews with the cast from the first season. This wasn't just about being a fan, this was about being a prepared interviewer.
- Pro Tip #1: Never underestimate the power of thorough research. Knowing the subject inside and out boosts your confidence and allows for more insightful questions. You'll sound smarter, and more importantly, you'll show respect for the people you're interviewing.
The Interview Itself: A Rollercoaster of Emotions!
The actual interview was... intense. I felt like a kid meeting their favorite superhero! I’d prepared a list of questions, focusing on the show's unique narrative structure, its compelling characters, and the cultural impact of Contre Sens. But, even with all my prep, things didn't always go to plan. I mumbled a bit. I stumbled over a couple of words. There was one point where I almost completely lost my train of thought! Ugh, so embarrassing.
- Pro Tip #2: Don't be afraid to pause, take a breath, and collect your thoughts. It's okay to be human! It makes the interview feel more natural and relatable. The interviewees probably made mistakes too.
Learning from My Mistakes: What I Would Do Differently
Looking back, I could've been even more focused. I might have planned to send some questions in advance, to allow for a deeper discussion of more complex issues. But hey, it was my first big interview like this.
- Pro Tip #3: Always have a backup plan. Prepare additional questions in case the conversation veers off in an unexpected direction. And record the interview, if you can, for review purposes.
The Takeaway: Embrace the Unexpected!
Even with a few bumps along the road, interviewing the creators of Contre Sens 2 for Prime Video was an incredible experience. It taught me the importance of thorough preparation, the value of embracing the unexpected, and the power of trusting your instincts. Never, ever give up on your dreams. Sometimes, the craziest opportunities come out of nowhere. Who knows what might happen next? Maybe I’ll get to interview the cast of Contre Sens 3! Fingers crossed!
