Today we got a reply from one of our social media experts called Cameron Mansel who has agreed to partake in an interview. We're very lucky her replied as he is a radio and tv presenter so he has quite a busy schedule. He interview will be of great merit because of his background in the entertainment industry.

So far we have had no luck with gaining a response from the expert from the University we wanted to interview therefore we decided to look elsewhere to be proactive if we do not get a response from a follow up email. I came to a realisation that perhaps the information we are trying to source should be coming from a psychologist rather than a media expert as the topic is actually about a psychological condition. So we decided to reach out to a psychological expert to use as a possible interviewee or for her to recommend another expert from her department for us. We also decided to ask a few media expert whose work revolves around celebrity which included a teen magazine editor and a radio host whose interests are in celebrities and social media. We hope to gain a response from at least one of these options as all would be extremely helpful to us. We also looked at asking another media expert from the University however his expertise is arguably quite different to our topic so instead we asked him to email his responses to our question to see if he would be of any vital use to our documentary. We plan to begin looking at starting our montages with archival footage in our upcoming lessons as we wait for a response.

Today I worked on the script so that it coincided with what we have on the production schedule breakdown including the voice-over speeches. This involved interpreting the research on our topic and summarising the information so it is easier for the audience to understand. Jess checked our replies from our possible interviewee’s and lucky two out of three of the people we contacted responded and of those three our “superfans” Olivia and Sophie have fortunately stated they would be happy to take part. Jess also worked on finding music that would work well with our visual images and under the voiceover which is one of the conventions we plan to use. We are looking particularly at songs that have something to do with fame and celebrities.

Today we have begun working through our production checklist in order to make sure we do not fall behind on our work. Today we have decided to contact the people we may possibly interview via email. This included one of the two experts and both of our “super fans” Olivia and Sophie Thomas the reason we have chosen to ask just one expert for the time being is because we believe that the information we need can be extracted from one expert plus it will save us time in terms of organising two different interview sessions with two probably very busy people. We have outlined the aim of our interview and provided them with possible questions we would ask them so they are able to be well informed and therefore are able to make a decision on whether they would accept our request to interview them. We hope to get a response soon. We have also started looking at adding more to our documentary script in terms of dialogue and will work towards finishing this off as soon as possible over the next few lessons.
