Further Suggestions And Brainstorming




I have used this to think about the way in which I can relax an interviewee. After talking to some peers, (after all its them I'm going to be interviewing) they suggested perhaps letting the interviews take place in a familiar environment and make it seem like you're having a conversation rather than a formal interview. They felt they would give better answers if I was relaxed and not worried about how the end result would turn out. 

As well as this, I have decided to stick with the Q&A type style of questioning people. This is because it means I will hopefully ask the questions that the audience would have wanted to know. The more video practice I get under my belt the more I will improve and hopefully put together quite an interesting and perhaps revealing piece. 

Following consulting my teacher I have decided that I wish to create a 5 minute extract from a documentary that would also feature the views of perhaps; parents, teachers, experts and outsiders, but the extract or clip I am going to create is going to focus on the students views. This way I can perhaps include the other views or one of the other views in my ancillary tasks, such as the double page spread. A documentary looking at the post 16 education system on a whole but my extract involves the student opinion. This is because it is easier for me to access students on a regular basis, and are more willing to give up their time or allow me to re-shoot if necessary. Whereas although teachers are more than willing to help and look forward to it, it is harder to arrange a suitable time that suits everyone, I also feel more relaxed around people my age, and as they are my age I can empathise with what they are saying or understand the process.

  1. A good use of ICT. The question in my mind is where are you actually going to go with the work? The next stage is critical.
