I created a mind map using Mind Jet to help me brainstorm my ideas for my video. I brainstormed lots of different genres along with some good subjects. I also made a list of different programmes which I have watched to help me with my idea.
Today I came up with the idea for my documentary, along with the target audience and the working title for my production. I also completed my call sheets for each scene.
Today I completed risk assessment forms for each location that I intend on filming in. I had to think of all the possible hazards that could occur whilst I would be filming and then calculate the severity of the hazard if it did happen.
Today I wrote a list of questions to ask during the interview with Jen and the police/security officer. I also found out some key statistics on alcohol and cannabis and wrote them up to use in my documentary and compare. I found out the number of hospital admissions for both, number of deaths and main health problem that occurs due to using the substance.

Today I got clearance from Sainsburys to film in there shop down the alcohol aisle. I had to write them a letter, which explained what I would need to do, if it would affect the customers and what exactly the footage would be used for. I told them that the footage would only be shown to students and tutors at the college, that I would just need to set up the tripod and camera down the aisle to get a few shots of alcohol only, and that I would only take about 15 minutes to film. I did not need to affect any of the customers, when they needed to get by I just stopped filming and moved out of there way so they could get by.

Today I filmed Jen Kellys interview, it went well apart from my camera making the footage playback with lines across it! I had to go and change the camera during filming and film it all again. I did end up changing the location of filming, I was planning on filming in a class room, but thought it would be easier to film outside because there were not any class rooms unoccupied. I filmed outside on a bench, which was the same sort of set up as I was going to do in the classroom.
The interview went well, firstly we recorded me asking the questions which I will then intercut with Jen awnsering the questions. Kerri Amos was my assistant, she helped me film.

Today I edited my Video using Imovie, I had to watch back all my footage and make alot of cuts. I intercut the interviews and have chosen the best parts to put into my documentary, as it is longer than 3 minutes if I dont do that.
Wednesday 7th July 2010- Today I am going through my work to check it is all there and I am going to complete an evaluation of my work.
Thursday 8th July 2010- Today I finished editing my video, by adding a title page at the beginning and a credits page at the end. I also made some music to go with the the first sequence of shots of alcohol.
