These slides show the stages of script development for the interview with a media professional.

Script Development Psychology Teacher

Here is the script development for our interview with a psychology teacher:

Potential questions for interviewee (psychology teacher) – STAGE 1

1.      What is your view on violence in the media and how can it affect people psychologically?

2.      In your opinion has violence become a way of life for some people, because it is so often in the media?

3.      What is your view on the watershed? Is it effective?

4.      Do you think there is a correlation between crime and the amount of violence in the media?

5.      Do you think crime rates would go down if there was less violence in the media?

6.      Why do you think young people are attracted to violence in the media?

7.      Can violence in the media can cause people to commit violent crimes?

8.      Do you think that violence in the media affects the way children behave?

Potential questions for interviewee (psychology teacher) – STAGE 2

1.      What is your view on violence in the media and how can it affect people psychologically?

2.      In your opinion has violence become a way of life for some people, because it is so often in the media?

3.      Do you think there is a correlation between crime and the amount of violence in the media?

4.      Do you think crime rates would go down if there was less violence in the media?

5.      Why do you think young people are attracted to violence in the media?

6.      Can violence in the media can cause people to commit violent crimes?

7.      Do you think that violence in the media affects the way children behave?

Why – the watershed question relates to more than just violence in the media which is not what we are focusing on when having interviews.

Potential questions for interviewee (psychology teacher) – STAGE 3

1.      What is your view on violence in the media and how can it affect people psychologically?

2.      In your opinion has violence become a way of life for some people, because it is so often in the media?

3.      Do you think there is a correlation between crime and the amount of violence in the media?

4.      Why do you think young people are attracted to violence in the media?

5.      Can violence in the media can cause people to commit violent crimes?

6.      Do you think that violence in the media affects the way children behave?

Why – we have already got a question which talks about violence and crimes which would mean just repeating ourselves when it comes to talking about the correlation between the two topics.

Potential questions for interviewee (psychology teacher) – STAGE 4

1.      In your opinion has violence become a way of life for some people, because it is so often in the media?

2.      Do you think there is a correlation between crime and the amount of violence in the media?

3.      Why do you think young people are attracted to violence in the media?

4.      Can violence in the media can cause people to commit violent crimes?

5.      Do you think that violence in the media affects the way children behave?

Why – we got rid of this question because it was too vague for asking someone in an interview and we didn’t want to waste valuable time asking questions like it.

Potential Question Planning

These spider diagrams show our initial question ideas for each catagory of interviewee.

Similar Documentaries

Channels Research

As a group we decided on using Channel 4 for our documentary, as it has a target audience of teenagers and adults (which is an audience we aim to attract), and it has a good reputation for quirky expository documentaries (which we hope ours will be).

Story Boards

In order to plan out each shot of our documentary we decided to draw out storyboards so we can visualise how our final documentary will look.

Here is our first storyboard:

Here is our second storyboard:

Here is our final storyboard:

Making these storyboards has enabled us to plan more clearly how we want our documentary to look, by breaking down each shot and transition.

Simon Ashdown Interview Planning

We wrote a letter to Simon Ashdown, requesting some of his time so we could interview him. Here is the scanned in letter:

Interview Planning

This is a diagram we made in order to show the range of interviews we plan to get:

We think that it is really important to get a range of views from members of the public, to professionals in the media industry.

Documentary Planning

Planning ideas for final documentary project.

As a group we decided to base our documentary on violence in the media.

Questionnaire

We created a questionnaire on documentaries which we then gave out to members of the public, in order to find out what style of documentary is popular with which audience demographic.

Here is the questionnaire:

Here are the results from the questionnaires we handed out:

Documentary Questionnaire Results on Prezi

The results give us a clearer view of documentaries and has aided us in deciding what our own documentary will be like.

Time Management Planning

We decided to make a timeline to help us with our time management so that we can keep to a schedule:
