Filming Records


11/10/2010

Today I emailed Penketh High School to ask permission to interview their Headteacher Mr Jeff Hughes and head of Media Studies Ms Susan Ashurst.


















12/10/2010
Today I recieved replies from both Mr Hughes and Ms Ashurst confirming both their consent to the interviews.


















19/10/2010
We filmed the headteacher of Penketh High School- Jeff Hughes
We asked him the following questions:

1.) During your time as a teacher, have you noticed at what point the children change in their personality and behavior and possibly what caused this change?

2.) What does your son/daughter do for their hobbies, and where they similar to yours as a teen?

3.) What seems to be the most common recurring issue when dealing with teenagers?

4.) Who is the most influential person who influences you?

5.) During break/lunch/after school times, have you noticed their being much more violence between the teens?

6.) Do you think that no matter what your parenting technique, teenagers will do whatever they want whenever they want?

7.) Do you think youth clubs help to prevent teens from hanging around the streets and causing trouble?

8.) Has the rise in cheap alcohol and more lenient shop owners helped to increase the number of antisocial behavior cases in teens?


20/10/2010
Today we filmed the head of Media at Penketh High School-Susan Ashurst
We asked her the following questions:

1.) During your time as a teacher, have you noticed at what point the children change in their personality and behavior and possibly what caused this change?

2.) What seems to be the most common recurring issue when dealing with teenagers?

3.) During break/lunch/after school times, have you noticed their being much more violence between the teens?

10/11/10
Today as a group we filmed Thomas (15) and Jessica Yates (13) and interviewed them both on their perspective of being a teen and other teens around them, getting a variety of backgrounds on types of teenagers.


12/11/10
We filmed both Mr Andrew Marshall and Mr Ron Stromberg, both parents of current teenagers on what their opinions are on the stereotyoing of teenagers by the media and if it is similar at all to the stereotypes were branded with when they were teenagers.

13/11/10
The next day we decided to film a member of society who is a little older than those already interviewed. Margeret Marshall a grandparent shares her experiences as a teenager, being a parent to a teenager and also as a grandparent.


14/11/10
Today we filmed both Stephen and Emily Patterson. Stephen is a parent of teenagers so he also had clear opinions on teenagers today and Emily is 19 years old so by interviewing a teen we could get her opinions also.

Research Record


We are using shots of the video that is on the website, using the statistics and some of the vox pops.
We selected information because it has accurate statistics and quotes from people affected by antisocial behaviour.
We are using video and editing parts from the clip and putting it into our documentary.
We wanted to show parts of this video because it is an example of how people can be influenced and how opinions of a certain stereotype can be made. This can be useful to our documentary.

We selected parts of this article but are not using it in the documentary.
We selected this information to help us with our documentary and script writing so we could make full use of the voice over.

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/crimejusticeandthelaw/crimeprevention/dg_4001652
We selected the list on what is classed as antisocial behaviour.
We wanted to use this information because many people don't understand what classes as antisocial behaviour.

http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100413151441/crimereduction.homeoffice.gov.uk/asbos/asbos2.htm
We wanted to use some of the statistics from the table in our documentary as evidence.
We chose to use this table because it is accurate accounts of how many ASBO's were given out between 1999 and 2007.
