For this project, it was much more stressful to write as I was originally planning to write a six-episode series at about 30 pages (roughly 30 minutes each) per episode. But, I soon realized that I didn't have the writing power of the ability to stretch out this idea to six episodes when had only gotten to the second episode. So, because of this, I reached out to my university teacher to change to a feature-length script, something that I found much easier to write to as I only to write 60 pages rather than 180. Strengths: I feel that my strengths in my writing came from my descriptions of both the characters and the environment, I was able to create a world where the reader could step in and feel like they knew it. I knew from films like Lord of the Rings, that you want a world where the audience could feel as if they belonged in that environment, even if it was their first time watching the film, it's a great first impression on the viewer. My other strength as my character w...
For the first interview of our documentary, we interviewed Rochard Grannon who runs 'Spartan Life Coach', Richard is an 'NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) master practitioner, is passionate about helping people defend themselves, get back on their feet and finally free themselves from narcissistic abuse'. He also focuses on social media and aspects of it alongside social media. We choose Richard for this interview as we felt we could get two elements of both mental health and social media in one. We interviewed him on the 5th of May for roughly twenty minutes exploring how social media can affect mental health and how it has affected our society as a whole. Below is the interview video from that day. For transcribing his interview, I played through his interview many many times in order to write down his answers to every question Aodhan asked.

For Sydney’s idea of ‘Cheat Box’ we did our own research into similar shows that could influence ours. For myself, I decided to watch ‘Would I Lie To You?’, this show (aired on BBC One) shows two teams going against one another as “are telling true stories from their weird and wonderful lives, or spinning a tall tale based on a lie given to them by the production team ” (Fullerton, 2016). The bit about the production team interested me as I always thought the guest made up their own lies, rather than a lie being handed to them. The host, Rob Brydon, is someone who seems to be straight to the point, yet clear and witty, being able to hold the audience. These were the kind of elements we were looking for in a host, someone who could hold the audience while also being engaging and captivating: “ H e’s a light entertainment fixture and cheeriness personified. ” (Preston, 2012) This quote tells us that Rob is the kind of guy for our show as our show is all about being e...
